Samvirkni í aðgerðum gegn hreyfingarleysi og loftslagsvá

Að sjálfsögðu mun betri aðgengi og réttlæti fyrir þá sem kjósa að hjóla auka hjólreiðar og vinna bæði gegn hreyfingarleysi og losun koltvísýrings með meiru.

Bresk opinber stofnun  ( Foresight)  hefur komist að þessari niðurstöðu líka og þeir þora að segja  frá því :-)

Tackling obesity has striking similarities with tackling climate change. Both need whole societal change with cross governmental action and long term commitment. Many climate change goals would also help prevent obesity, such as measures to reduce traffic congestion, increase cycling or design sustainable communities. Tackling them together would enhance the effectiveness of action. There are also synergies with other policy goals such as increasing social inclusion and narrowing health inequalities since obesity’s impact is greatest on the poorest.
