At which city’s climate summit did the Fit India Movement present its Sundays on Cycle initiative?

  1. A.Baku
  2. B.Belem
  3. C.Antalya
  4. D.Dubai

Correct answer

C. Antalya

Explanation

The correct answer is Antalya. The session on Sundays on Cycle was held at the International Solar Alliance Pavilion at COP31, the 31st Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, and that summit is taking place at Antalya. Fit India also invited delegates there to a special ride that ran from Konyaalti to the old quarter of Kaleici in the same city, held along with the Turkish Cycling Federation, which shows plainly that the host city was Antalya. Baku, Belem and Dubai are therefore wrong: none of them is named as the venue of this summit or of the ride for delegates in the announcement, which mentions only Antalya as the place where the session and the delegates’ ride were held. Aspirants should link COP31 with Antalya and remember that the session fell on the summit’s Children, Youth, Education and Skills Day.
