Preamble
This Agenda is a plan of action for people, planet and prosperity.
It also seeks to strengthen universal peace in larger freedom.
We recognise that eradicating poverty in all its forms and dimensions,
including extreme poverty, is the greatest global challenge and an
indispensable requirement for sustainable development.
All countries and all stakeholders, acting in collaborative partnership,
will implement this plan.
We are resolved to free the human race from the tyranny of poverty
and want and to heal and secure our planet.
We are determined to take the bold and transformative steps .....

• For a long time underestimated: Cycling economics has become highly efficient by
itself economically *2. The evidence of economic benefits with additional impact for
all dimensions of sustainability *3 was emerged to the Cycling Economy 2.0 by
making Human Rights part of the game *4.
• The economic benefits cycling can bring to a community or to societies, recognized
as sustainable benefits, were also already measured. *5

GENERAL APPROACH
Indicators for Sustainable Transport in the SDG Framework
(Draft, September 10, 2015)
Transport was not part of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)
framework. At the time, the transport community considered this a missed
opportunity in view of the strong linkage between economic development
and transport. With the new Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) now
endorsed at the United Nations Summit on September 25-27, 2015,
transport is given another opportunity to profile as a key sector
contributing to sustainable development.
This paper was drafted by the Technical Working Group, … established to
support the UN Secretary General’s High-Level Advisory Group on
Sustainable Transport, under the co-leadership of UN-DESA, ECF/WCA
and the World Bank. In round 1 consultation with the TWG, the co-leads
received input from SloCat, IRAp, CEPAL, ECF/WCA, WBCSD.L L

• The current number of SDGs, to which cycling and
active mobility contributes significantly, is not fixed yet;
it is work in progress.
• The requirements of the SDGs to shape new policies
are a unique opportunity to help the decision makers
to find proper solutions for sustainable politics.
• The cross-match of the SDGs with the key-issues of
the Active Mobility Agenda are delivering an enabling
structure for further research, inviting scientists from all
disciplines for specific-disciplinary as for trans-
disciplinary research.
• The global ECF network Scientist-for-Cycling is
