With the United Nations COP26 currently underway, climate change and the collective future of humanity is once again on the world’s stage. We know that big change is needed to avoid the worst impacts of climate change and that world leaders are responding too slowly. The recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report summed it up best, signaling a “code red for humanity.”
As world leaders deliberate on the best next steps to slow climate change at COP26, one of the most immediate ways we can take climate action here in the United States is to stop driving and start walking. To make this feasible, more people need to live in places where walking is a viable option. The concept of the 15-minute city provide us with a template to make this a reality. Proximity matters—and where and how we build our communities has an outsized impact on our carbon footprint. We can effectively respond to the climate challenges we face with 15-minute cities that give people the option to not purchase a second family car, and instead walk, bike, or take transit to get around.
The idea is simple: All desires, wants, and needs a person could have should be located within a 15-minute walk or bicycle ride from one’s home. We need neighborhoods that provide choices and at the same time help preserve the environment rather than contribute to its demise.

“We know that big change is needed to avoid the worst impacts of climate change and that world leaders are responding too slowly. ‘ Nonsense. This rabid leftist site is full of crap.
In Singapore, some large apartment blocks have their own food court, laundromat, etc. But in Singapore, people know how to behave in public.
The Pandemic isn’t working out too well for them so they are going to plan “b” the climate panic.
Whenever I see the word “sustainable” I know there is a massive load of leftist bullsh!t coming.
They want us piled up on top of each other in Soviet styled dormitories.
Choices as in lots of limited choices and lots of restrictions to choose from.
Everything you need in a concentration camp is 15 minutes away.
Could they possibly get even more dramatic?
I suspect that Leftist Democrat American Cities of the future will have a nice smooth glass bowl in the middle of the city that residents can skateboard across in less than 15 minutes.
The question is—how many times do you get mugged in your fifteen minute walk?
Do these lefties actually visit US cities at night—or are they huddled in their parent’s basement in the burbs?
Hasn’t that been tried already? Cabrini Green was a hell hole disaster.
Easier to control us that way.
Otherwise, not even an inch of beach was lost in the past 40-50 years.
This "climate change/global warming" is all a bunch of hokey-pokey.
Exactly. It really would be beneficial to have communities where services (grocery/post office, etc) were within a walkable distance.
But, in a lot of cities where this is possible, it isn’t safe to do so.
BTW this is Agenda 21. All people will live, work, shop and recreate in their nodes. To leave your node will require a pass to travel.
What a blithering idiot.
I have the same reaction when some tries to push “smart” technology at me.
