The 193 members of the United Nations General Assembly have adopted a resolution supporting bicycles as a tool for combatting climate change.

The resolution, which was proposed by Turkmenistan, a country in Central Asia, was passed unanimously.

Although it is non-binding, like all General Assembly resolutions, It calls on member states to “integrate the bicycle into public transportation, in urban and rural settings in developing and developed countries.”

According to the resolution, increasing cycling through improved road safety and the promotion of bike-riding will help achieve “sustainable development, including the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.

Specifically, the resolution encourages member states to “give special attention to cycling in cross-cutting development strategies, including bicycle-sharing services,” as well as when possible, in “international, regional, national and subnational development policies and programmes.”
