The motion

That the Parliament welcomes Living Streets Edinburgh’s Walk to School Week, which runs from 20 to 24 May 2024, with the theme of The Magic of Walking; congratulates all of the schools across the country that are participating in the event; understands that the event aims to highlight what it sees as the benefits of walking, including the reduction of congestion and air pollution near school gates, cuts to carbon emissions and increased physical activity for young people and their parents; recognises what it sees as the importance of school street closures and investing in behavioural change programmes, such as walk to school programmes, and calls on the Scottish Government to support parents and pupils in making sustainable travel choices to work towards net zero by 2045.
