That means improving and extending public transport and creating networks run on renewable energy, investing in cycling and walking infrastructure, and increasing the safe uptake of micro-mobility solutions.<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s not just up to policymakers. The car industry needs to up its game, and phase out all diesel and petrol cars (yes, even hybrids).
