#COP26 To avert climate change and limit warming to 1.5Β°C we need to reduce carbon emissions from transport - in fact transport is the problem child of carbon emissions. In many countries transport emissions are rising while all other emissions are falling H/T @SLOCATOfficial 2/n
#COP26 Cycling π² is (almost) zero emission already, together with walking πΆββοΈπΆββοΈ and public transport π it can be a great contributor to lower carbon emissions . 3/n
