UCI (Union Cycliste Internationale)
Details
These guidelines aim to provide simple, practical and essential information on key aspects of sustainability. It is a tool that will help National Federations, Event Organisers, Teams, and other cycling stakeholders navigate this subject’s complexities and start the journey to developing effective sustainability programmes.
Section 1
Introduces the UCI’s commitment to sustainability and its four pillars, which are the foundation for transforming our sport, and outlines the role cycling can play in an increasingly challenging world.
Section 2
Gives a broad overview of sustainability, the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, the ISO 20121 management system, and where to start with taking climate action.
Section 3
Contains short overviews, providing a reference point for cycling’s essential focus areas, with case studies of sustainability in practice from cycling organisations around the world.
Section 4
Provides checklists highlighting best practice to help organisers deliver sustainable events that maximise positive and minimise negative impacts on people and the planet. These actions are neither exhaustive nor compulsory. Organisers must think about what is important and realistic for events according to specific local conditions and plan to address priority objectives.
Section 5
Contains tools and resources to advocate for cycling as a mode of transport and encourage better inclusion within our sport.
These guidelines will become an integral part of the sport’s journey towards sustainability.
