Cycle4Climate Forum I

Cycle4Climate Forum VOL I: Nudging Behaviours Towards All-year Urban Cycling 19-20 March 2025 Espoo, Finland

Transport is a major contributor to urban CO₂ emissions, and how we move daily shapes the future of our cities. Changing mobility habits isn’t easy—but well-designed nudges can ease the transition.

Join the leading municipal mobility experts, cycling advocates, and academics from the Central Baltic as we explore innovative solutions, share best practices, and unlock new strategies to transform urban mobility for a greener future.

Cycle4Climate will implement three rounds of physical and social behavioural interventions to encourage a shift towards cycling in four areas in Espoo (Finland), Gävle (Sweden), Pärnu (Estonia), and Riga (Latvia).
In this session, we dive into the planning areas, their identified challenges, and the planned first interventions. We co-ideate on best-applying insights from the morning sessions to practice and discuss their applicability in different Finnish and Central Baltic contexts.
