United Nations Car Free Days is a process and event driven approach to promote sustainability in the developing world, relating to transport in cities. UNCFD follows on from the work of the World Car Free Days collaborative over its first seven years of existence, in preparation for the World Summit on Sustainable Development.
The team has organized and supported three low carbon footprint events: in Bogotá, Surabaya, and Fremantle.
Famous quotes containing the words united, nations, car, free and/or days:
“The Federated Republic of Europe—the United States of Europe—that is what must be. National autonomy no longer suffices. Economic evolution demands the abolition of national frontiers. If Europe is to remain split into national groups, then Imperialism will recommence its work. Only a Federated Republic of Europe can give peace to the world.”
—Leon Trotsky (1879–1940)
“I’ve noticed that the children of other nations always seem precocious. That’s because the strange manners of their elders have caught our attention most and the children echo those manners enough to seem like their parents.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
“I marched in with the men afoot; a gallant show they made as they marched up High Street to the depot. Lucy and Mother Webb remained several hours until we left. I saw them watching me as I stood on the platform at the rear of the last car as long as they could see me. Their eyes swam. I kept my emotion under control enough not to melt into tears.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“No human being, however great, or powerful, was ever so free as a fish.”
—John Ruskin (1819–1900)
“The sixth day of Christmas,
My true love sent to me
Six geese a-laying,”
—Unknown. The Twelve Days of Christmas (l. 26–28)
