Climate resilience: How cycling fights climate change
19 Jun 2026 10:00 - 10:45 Arco Lectures
Built to Inspire. Designing Beautiful Urban Environments
Cycling is a powerful tool in the fight against climate change, offering low-carbon mobility while supporting healthier, more resilient cities. This session explores how cycling infrastructure and policies can both mitigate emissions and help cities adapt to changing climate conditions. Speakers will present solutions for designing cycling networks that remain comfortable and reliable in hot and humid environments, highlighting materials, shading, and urban design strategies. The discussion will also feature a call to action for climate-resilient active mobility in Global South cities, where rapid urbanisation and climate risks demand inclusive, scalable solutions.
