RT by @TomasZdechovsky: 🚴‍♀️ Europe is connected by more than roads and railways — it is also connected by thousands of kilometres of cycling routes.

This map reveals something remarkable: across Europe, cycling infrastructure has become an essential part of modern mobility. From the Netherlands and Denmark to Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic and beyond, millions of Europeans can travel, commute and explore their regions on safe and well-marked cycling networks.

Investing in cycling is not just about leisure. It means healthier citizens, cleaner air, less congestion, stronger local tourism and more sustainable transport systems. Every kilometre of a cycling path is an investment in quality of life and in Europe’s green future.

The challenge now is to continue closing the gaps, connecting regions across borders and ensuring that cycling becomes a realistic option for people of all ages, whether in cities or rural areas.

Europe grows stronger when we build connections that are sustainable, accessible and good for people’s health.

🚲 Which European country do you think has the best cycling infrastructure?

Why the world’s most ambitious coal phase-out deal has failed – and what it means for climate finance

The $20 billion climate flop: a flagship plan to phase out coal in Indonesia hasn’t shut a single power plant.

The Conversation

We could have strategic, coordinated, transformative "state-led electrification for energy sovereignty", and a life-improving "green social bargain".

"The experience of successful developmental states—from the East Asian tigers to contemporary China—teaches us that transformative industrial policy delivers where it is accompanied by coercive credit policy, where the state steers transformative investment through credit and equity flows."

"There is no doubt that countries can afford free green public mobility. Crushed by fossil fuel shortages far worse than anything Europe has had to deal with so far, the government of Pakistan has announced free public transit by bus, as has Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam."

The #GreenTransition touches everyone: now you can ride public transport to Valhalla. (It is east of Helsinki, of course, because it is closer to Ragnarök with the Beast from the East and that may disrupt bus schedules.) Check the schedules here: reittiopas.hsl.fi/pysakit/HSL:...
