Manage episode 306776991 series 2701682
In Street Side Talks we chat to the key individuals that are working to create more accessible, equitable and sustainable cities through transformative projects and initiatives.
In episode three, we're at COP26 to discuss the role of cycling with the European Cyclists Federation President, Henk Swarttouw. Henk has been cycling for over 50 years and as a former Dutch ambassador to both Finland and Denmark, has been engaged in cycling diplomacy for a decade.
We discuss the ECF's response to COVID, how the organisation has been helping nations develop and deliver cycling policy, and why cycling needs greater representation at COP, and beyond, if world leaders are to reach emission targets.
