Nordic Talks: Pedalling Health - Healthy and sustainable cities in Denmark and Australia

Description

Enabling more people to cycle and walk as an everyday means of transportation is vital to reducing emissions and improving public health.
In Denmark, the bicycle has been recognised as a fast, efficient, and sustainable mode of transportation for decades, and the key to more liveable cities and happy, healthy people – supported by a network of safe cycling infrastructure and a positive cycle culture.

This webinar, part of our special Nordic Talks webinar series, will explore how Australia could move closer to Danish cycle culture, to not only improve the health of the planet, but the people on it, with Dr Sandro Demaio, CEO of VicHealth and Marianne Weinreich, Chairman and co-founder of the Cycling Embassy of Denmark.
