This new WHO guidance and toolkit outlines evidence-based policy actions to promote safe, inclusive, and accessible environments for more safe walking and cycling. It offers a practical roadmap across sectors—from transport to health to environment—with seven key policy action areas and real-world case studies. The webinar will feature:

• Presentation introducing the toolkit Promoting walking and cycling: a toolkit of policy options and the case for walking and cycling as forces for health, sustainable transport, road safety, equity, and climate resilience
• Panel discussion sharing insights from global experts, including Global Road Safety partners, the Partnership for Active Transport and Health (PATH), and the FIA Foundation, amongst others
• City case studies showcasing how better infrastructure and smart policy can unlock co-benefits across health, mobility, environment, and econom
• Chaired by Dr Etienne Krug, Director, Department for Social Determinants and Heath, WHO and Chair of the International Road Safety Collaboration
