Did you know there was a report issued on October 14, 2018 by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change - the IPCC - stressed that global CO2 emissions need to be net zero by 2050 to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees and avoid catastrophic impacts.
The headline in FORBES read: Bicycling Could Help Save The Planet (IPCC)
In recent years, Toronto residents and businesses have experienced more frequent flooding and other severe weather events. Toronto’s weather is expected to get hotter, wetter and wilder as climate risks are increasing.
In addition to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, climate action in Toronto supports key City Council priorities, such as improving health, economy and social equity.
The city of toronto Transportation Services site notes:
Investments in transit and CYCLING infrastructure improve air quality, health and social equity.
investment in sustainable land use including Active Transportation infrastructure across Ontario should be a priority rather than destruction of a few km of bikeways.
