Sustainable mobility: Why it offers compelling answers to climate change
FirstpostAt a time when people and goods are moving in unprecedented volume across the world, one of the most complex challenges of our time is figuring out ways to decrease the environmental impact of transport Having been a resident of Delhi for several years, it’s quite disconcerting to see how climate change has affected the city. Although over the past few years, the international community has made promises of sustainable mobility — it’s now imperative that sustainable transport underpins urbanization. In line with Sustainable Development Goal 13, which aims to take positive action against climate change, India is also ensuring that its development agenda has a component of sustainability and environmental preservation. By providing a dedicated location where a selection of sustainable transport modes is co-located in proximity, it provides a push to make sustainable choices — instead of just dedicating an area to support the sustainable choices already made by citizens like a place to park a bike or rent an electric car.
