ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Global Alliance for EcoMobility

Okay, so let's imagine you really like to ride your bike, skateboard or scooter to go to school, visit friends or just explore your neighborhood. But you've noticed that sometimes it's too hard to ride because the roads are too busy with cars and trucks, and it's not very safe, right?

Well, there are some grown-up people who also think it would be cool if more people could ride bikes or use other types of transportation that don't pollute the air or make so much noise. They formed a very big club called the Global Alliance for Ecomobility or GAE for short.

This club is made up of people from different countries who work together to make streets and sidewalks better for people to walk, bike, or ride instead of using cars all the time. They also help people who design transportation systems make sure they're not hurting the environment, which is where all the animals and plants live.

So just like you have other friends who like to ride with you, the GAE has lots of friends who help them, like city planners, architects, engineers, and environmentalists. Together, they make maps and plans to make it easier and safer for people to get around without always driving cars.

In short, the GAE's goal is to make cities and towns all over the world more friendly and fun for people who like to move around in different ways while taking care of nature.
