It also supports economy and social inclusion. These benefits are increasingly recognized and embraced around the world. Many cities are promoting active mobility, and several countries have developed national strategies for cyclists and pedestrians. For the first time an increasing number of countries of the WHO European Region are introducing comprehensive plans, declarations and partnerships for active mobility, redefining the role of walking and cycling in transport. The eighth Bonn Dialogue will review progress on the implementation of the Budapest and Vienna commitments, including the Pan-European Masterplan for Cycling Promotion, and the upcoming Pan-European Master Plan on Walking. The discussions will also address the European Declaration on Cycling adopted in April 2024. The event will focus on the necessity of integrating active mobility into transport policies, spatial planning, urban design as well as climate and energy policies. It will emphasize the critical role of implementing effective policies at all levels to fully unlock the wide range of benefits that active mobility offers. The Dialogue will be concluded with the key takeaway messages for policy-makers and stakeholders to further advance promotion of active mobility in the European Region and accelerate the implementation of agreements, strategies and plans for cycling and walking. During the Dialogue participants will have the opportunity to engage in discussions using an interactive polling tool. During the Dialogue, WHO/Europe will be launching the film on walking and cycling “Let’s get moving! 100 reasons to walk and cycle more”. This online event is open to members of the Environment and Health Task Force (EHTF) and the Transport, Health and Environment Pan-European Programme (THE PEP); anyone working on environment, health and transport policies in national, regional and local governments, or in European and international institutions; other stakeholders; youth; and the general public.
