Sustainable Development Goals activist David Ligouy has cycled through 27 countries and more than 40,000 km on a solar-powered electric-assist recumbent cycle
A French activist who has spent the past four years crossing the globe on a solar-powered cycle to spread awareness about climate change spent Thanksgiving weekend in the Nickel City.
Ligouy arrived in the Sudbury area on Oct. 7. He was fortunate to meet Sudburian Nicole Tardif at a Tim Hortons in Espanola. Once she confirmed his mission, Tardif, the program co-ordinator in Laurentian University’s Goodman School of Mines, invited to put up the cycling activist in her South End home.
“The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future,” reads a statement on the SDG website.
