On 26 November 2025, Sustainable Transport Day was celebrated across schools through a special awareness campaign led by GoSharpener. The campaign focused on the importance of safe, affordable, accessible, and sustainable transport systems, while strongly aligning with SDG 13 – Climate Action. Through this initiative, students were encouraged to think beyond everyday travel and imagine transport systems that protect the planet while including everyone.

Sustainable Transport Day is not only about how we travel today but also about how our choices shape the future. Clean air, safe journeys, equal access, and well-connected cities are all part of sustainable transport. Through this campaign, GoSharpener invited students to reflect on how responsible transport decisions today can create a healthier and more inclusive world tomorrow.

Understanding Sustainable Transport and Intermodal Systems

As part of the Sustainable Transport Day learning activities, students were introduced to the concept of intermodal transport. This refers to transport systems where different modes such as walking, cycling, buses, metros, and shared vehicles are smoothly connected, allowing people to move easily, safely, and sustainably.

Students imagined future-ready cities where:

  • Scooters move on smooth, dedicated tracks
  • Metros, buses, and rickshaws connect at a single, easy station
  • Ramps, lifts, and audio guides support people with disabilities
  • Green buses operate on clean energy
  • Solar-powered bike stands encourage cycling
  • Walking and cycling are safe, simple, and preferred

Through classroom discussions during Sustainable Transport Day, students reflected on an important question: Does our city truly work together to support everyone?

They were encouraged to:

  • Walk or cycle whenever possible
  • Share rides with friends and family
  • Ask for cleaner and safer roads
  • Talk to adults about inclusive and sustainable transport systems

Sustainable Transport Day: More Than Just Travel

The Sustainable Transport Day campaign helped students understand that sustainable transport means much more than moving from point A to point B. It represents:

  • Reduced pollution
  • Healthier communities
  • Safer roads
  • Equal access for all
  • Climate-friendly cities

Students learned that transport systems impact not only the environment but also health, safety, accessibility, and overall quality of life. A truly sustainable transport system ensures that no one is left behind, regardless of age, ability, or background.

Looking Ahead to 2050: Students as Future Reporters

As we progress through the year 2025, GoSharpener challenged students to look 25 years into the future. What would the world look like in 2050 if we commit to sustainable transport today?

For Sustainable Transport Day, students became future news reporters, imagining themselves as anchors reporting live from the year 2050. They described how clean and green transport systems helped save the planet and improve lives.

Some of their creative visions included:

  • Cities free from smoke and traffic noise
  • Streets filled with cyclists and pedestrians
  • Solar-powered transport pods
  • Clean air and healthier communities

Students recorded and shared their future news reports as short video reels on the GoSharpener platform. This activity blended imagination, communication skills, and climate awareness in a meaningful way.

It also encouraged critical thinking, creativity, confidence, and environmental responsibility, making Sustainable Transport Day both educational and impactful.

Celebrating Our Budding Climate Reporters

A big appreciation goes out to the students who participated enthusiastically in Sustainable Transport Day 2025 and shared powerful visions of a sustainable future. These young climate reporters proved that creativity and awareness can inspire real climate action.
