The COP31 Bike Ride
In 2026, the COP31 Bike Ride is uniting passionate adventurers from across the globe as they journey by bicycle and sailboat from the Amazonian city of Belém, Brazil, the host of COP30 to Antalya, Turkiye, the host of COP31, that will start on November 9th. Their goal ? Underline the benefits of everyday cycling to reduce carbon emissions, a goal they pursue by bringing to the COP ten proposals of cycling policies to be included in the countries' climate plans.
The ride started end of April and it will be in June/July/August in Portugal/Spain/France, late August in Italy, September in the Balkans, October in Turkey.
A citizen's project
Along the way, cyclists:
- engage with local cycling communities
- demand 3 commitments from the officials of the towns/regions/nations they cross (on cycling policies, at the 2035 horizon, which is the end date of the next round of COP climate plans)
Together, these interactions create a global mosaic of citizen’s action, linking local concerns to international climate goals.
