Travel is responsible for about 40% of greenhouse gas emissions in the UK, and profound changes are needed in the sector for it tomake a contribution to climate change mitigation (CCC, 2019). While technology can play a role in reducing emissions, e.g., throughelectric vehicles, ambitious climate targets can only be met with widespread behavioural changes to more active modes of transport,such as walking and cycling. Active travel has many additional (co-)benefits. It is a comparatively easy way to integrate exercise intodaily life - with even short distances of regular active travel having major health benefits (Shephard, 2008); and can also help improvelocal environment quality through reductions in air pollution and traffic congestion (Healy, 2017; Campbell-Lendrum & Pruss-Ustun,2019).

旅游占英国温室气体排放量的40%左右，要为减缓气候变化做出贡献，该行业需要进行深刻变革（CCC, 2019）。虽然技术可以在减少排放方面发挥作用，例如通过电动汽车，但雄心勃勃的气候目标只能通过广泛改变更积极的交通方式（如步行和骑自行车）来实现。主动旅行有许多额外的（共同）好处。这是一种将锻炼融入日常生活的相对简单的方法——即使是短距离的定期积极旅行也对健康有很大的好处（Shephard, 2008）；还可以通过减少空气污染和交通拥堵来帮助改善当地的环境质量（Healy, 2017; Campbell-Lendrum & Pruss-Ustun,2019）。
