Promoting mental health through cycling and walking: a win-win approach for health and sustainability
No full textiv, 12 p.Addressing the triple challenge of physical inactivity, the growing need for healthy and sustainable mobility, and for intersectoral action on mental health, this brief presents the first overview of review studies and the growing body of evidence on the impacts of active mobility across the life course and a wide range of mental health conditions. It also collates evidence-based practical tips and project examples to promote further investments into active mobility and research on its effects on mental health, to help address the heavy burden of mental ill-health and physical inactivity in the WHO European Region. Overall, the findings are encouraging and support investments in safe active mobility, which can help enhance mental health and well-being for people of all ages, along with physical health and sustainability

Road policing for road safety: technical manual for building global enforcement capacity
No full textx, 226 p.This technical manual provides evidence based guidance to strengthen road policing and enforcement (RPE) as a core pillar of effective road safety systems. It is designed for the wide range of stakeholders involved in RPE, including police and gendarmerie, the judiciary, policy makers, road safety professionals, nongovernmental organizations and the private sector. For the purposes of the manual, RPE is defined as a specialized policing function that applies intelligence led and evidence based strategies to enforce road safety legislation, deter high risk behaviours and deny criminal use of the road network. The manual demonstrates that, despite proven effectiveness, RPE remains seriously under resourced in many countries, particularly low and middle income countries. It addresses all major behavioural risk factors and all road users, and considers the full enforcement chain, from legislation and detection to penalties, data systems and governance. Structured in modular form, it supports capacity building, implementation, monitoring and continuous improvement to reduce road deaths and injuries while maintaining a clear focus on road safety outcomes
