In 2000 almost 90% of Denmark's electricity was from fossil fuels.
In 2024 less than 10% of Danish electricity was from fossil fuels.

TfL's cycleway network had 90km of routes in 2016. Now it’s more than 430km.
And Londoners are cycling like never before, with 1.5 million bike trips every day.
We’ll continue to work with TfL and London’s boroughs to make cycling safer, easier and more accessible for all.
