Dubai, United Arab Emirates Oct 16, 2024 (Issuewire.com) - Renowned Egyptian climate activist Ali Abdo has launched an extraordinary 8,000-kilometer ride on an electric bicycle, embarking from Dubai towards Baku, Azerbaijan. Dubbed "The Ride to COP29," Abdo's mission is to raise global awareness about climate change, promote sustainable solutions, and inspire collective action.
This ambitious expedition will take Abdo across 10 countries, highlighting the potential of eco-friendly transportation and engaging with communities directly affected by climate change. The ride builds on his previous solo journeys to COP27 and COP28, which attracted international recognition and support from organizations like the COP27 Presidency, the Arab League, UNDP, and UNICEF.
A pioneer in sustainable transport, Abdo is no stranger to making history. He holds multiple Guinness World Records for his achievements with electric vehicles and motorcycles, being the first Arab to set such records. During this latest journey, Abdo is aiming for yet another milestone: breaking the Guinness World Record for "Most cities visited in a continuous journey by an electric bicycle."
Powered by Wahu electric bicycles, Abdo's journey will take him through the UAE, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Iraq, Turkey, Georgia, and Azerbaijan, where he will arrive ahead of the 2024 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP29).
His "Ride to COP29" focuses on several core objectives: connecting with local communities to share their stories of climate resilience, showcasing groundbreaking sustainable technologies, and engaging policymakers to advocate for urgent and accelerated climate action.
"The climate crisis demands immediate and bold action," said Abdo. "Through this journey, we aim to inspire hope, empower communities, and demonstrate that a sustainable future is attainable through collective efforts."
As Abdo pedals towards COP29, his journey will serve as a powerful reminder that addressing climate change requires not only global cooperation but also individual commitment. His ride will stand as a testament to the power of sustainable innovation and the importance of engaging every corner of society in the fight against climate change.
