RE: #cycling #mobility #transportation and #COP28 leadership: There's a way to nudge more U.S. leadership, especially, - and quickly and loudly - on this topic and that is to find and "name and fame" those city leaders who themselves ride, walk and take transit. Make the ones ACTING the ones who get the media attention - and not the laggards still creating car-centric communities. That's the gist of my climate influence advising work, and the local political leader conversations I hosted for my #LivingChange #climate #leadership #podcast. I talked with amazingly visible and engaged mayors and city leaders from smaller cities in California, to Columbia MO, Baltimore, MD and Portland-area, OR. Wherever you get podcasts: LivingChangePodcast.com There is massive post- #COP28 climate influence to leverage if we help more local leaders *be seen for leading* in the less-car direction. Being the platform for that is a core piece of all I do in the Climate Influence space, since the day back in 2015 during COP21, when I launched the #bikes4climate tag.
"Cycling is one of the most sustainable and healthy means of transport that exists, yet cycling remains under-prioritized in the mobility mix in most places around the world and in the wider climate agenda." #cycling #sustainability #decarbonizing #climatechange #europeancyclistsfederation #cop28
