The NGO SampaPé! develops a podcast and magazine on Climate and Walkability that accessibly connects daily life in cities with the climate crisis
As climate change worsens globally, socio-environmental issues have gained prominence in recent years. In November, more than 400 organizations—including SampaPé!—signed an open letter from the Partnership for Active Travel and Health (PATH), urging government and municipal leaders to invest more in walking and cycling to meet climate goals and improve people's quality of life. The text was presented at COP 27 during a series of meetings, lectures, and official side events at the UN conference.
