This document summarizes a research project that studied the impact of climate change on mobility in the Netherlands. The project found that precipitation, clouds, wind and temperatures above 25°C negatively impact cycling and increase car use. It also found that cycling is more strongly affected by weather in remote, open areas than in dense, central areas. The project recommends taking future increases in cycling due to climate change into account when planning cycling infrastructure, and influencing urban design to shelter pedestrians and cyclists from weather.

Undeniable evidences throughout the globe indicate that global climate has changed compared to the pre-industrial era and is expected to continue the trend through 21st century and beyond. The Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)1 documented that global mean temperature has increased approximately 0.76・・C between 1850-1899 and 2001-2005 and it has concluded that most of the observed changes in global average temperatures since the mid-20th century is 'very likely' the result of human activities that are increasing greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere

With its close connections to the environment and climate itself, tourism is considered to be a vulnerable and highly climate-sensitive economic sector. Climate affects a wide range of environmental resources that are essential attraction factors for tourism. Climate change will make destinations less attractive and jeopardize major sources of income. There are direct impacts like altered seasonal patterns or coastal erosion, loss of beach area and higher costs to protect and maintain waterfronts. Also there are indirect impacts of climate change like water shortages. Higher costs for risk management for touristic infrastructure might change the demand side of tourism markets or the visitor numbers. Furthermore, the awareness of tourists towards climate change and other environmental issues is likely to be a major driver of their future holiday choices. Operators that do not adapt to this emerging ‘climate aware’ market risk losing market share to more responsive competitors. This clinic will discuss the important relation between climate change and tourism, and will try to show some alternatives and help to promote a responsible and sustainable tourism, which bring not only benefits for the tourism industry but also to the people whose livelihood depends on tourism.
Confronting the Harmful Impact of Rising Smog on Human Health with Positive S...bluetroyvictorVinay
In the battle for clean air, rising levels of smog stand as a formidable opponent, posing serious threats to human health and well-being. As we confront this challenge, it's essential to understand the detrimental effects of smog and explore positive solutions to combat its impact. In this blog article, we delve into the harmful consequences of smog on human health and highlight actionable steps and innovative solutions to clear the air and promote a healthier environment for all.

Fog can be a mesmerizing sight, enveloping landscapes in a mysterious veil and adding an ethereal quality to our surroundings. However, when it comes to navigating through foggy conditions, it can pose significant challenges and hazards, especially for travelers on roads, pilots in the air, and maritime vessels at sea. In this blog post, we'll explore the various solutions available for clearing the air and improving visibility amidst foggy weather conditions.

The Impact of Climate Change on Mobility

What is the research question?
Changing weather conditions have become an important topic in transport in recent years. This project
specifically looks at the effects of normal weather conditions on daily travel behaviour in the Netherlands.
What is the influence of weather and climate on our daily transport choices and our subjective experiences and
emotions regarding weather and space?
What are the findings?
Precipitation,
clouds, wind and lower temperatures, but also temperatures above 25˚C, have a negative
effect on cycling and lead to an increase in car use in particular.
The
effects of weather on cycling behaviour are generally stronger in remote, sparsely builtup
open areas
than in densely populated and sheltered central areas.
It
is expected that in a future warmer climate, cycling in the Randstad conurbation will increase across the
board, especially at the expense of car use. However, this will not be the case in the summer, when heat and
more extreme precipitation will make cycling less attractive.
The
perception of heat when travelling is the result of a combination of air temperature, wind, precipitation
and thermal radiation, and varies widely across users of different transport modes. Cyclists, especially,
experience cold weather as colder than sheltered motorists.
Precipitation,
cloud cover, wind and low temperatures, but also temperatures above 25˚C, result in a less
positive emotional travel experience.
Cold,
precipitation, cloud cover and wind mean that people experience spatial environments as less beautiful,
lively and pleasant when travelling. Walkers and cyclists have a more positive perception of spatial
environments than car and public transport users.
What are the recommendations?
Take
into account a possible increase in bicycle use in a warmer future climate when constructing cycling
infrastructure.
When
analysing transport trends e.g. when evaluating the use of cycling infrastructures, make corrections
e.g. for shortterm
weather fluctuations that have a significant impact on transport wide choices.
The
degree to which unprotected pedestrians and cyclists are exposed to the weather can be influenced by
urban design. Provide cooling by means of protective green cover and shelter against wind and rain with
canopies or windscreens.
