Riding towards the green economy: cycling and green jobs. Executive summary (2016)

This is an advance executive summary of a study, Riding towards the green economy: cycling and green jobs, undertaken in the context of the Transport, Health and Environment Pan-European Programme (THE PEP)'s partnership on jobs in green and healthy transport.

It builds on a 2014 publication, Unlocking new opportunities – jobs in green and healthy transport, by reviewing the methods used in other studies to estimate the number of jobs associated with cycling for various locations and gathering more evidence on cycling-related jobs directly from cities.

This summary highlights the main findings of the study. The full report was published by the United Nations Environment Programme in 2017.
