The third annual bike ride in support of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals was held in Belarus. Over 6 days, representatives of the United Nations, the diplomatic corps, business circles, local authorities, and people with disabilities – 400 people all in all – rode about 300 km in Grodno and Brest regions and finished in the Belovezhskaya Pushcha. In the final race, another 300 participants joined the main group.
Sanaka Samarasinha, the UN Resident Coordinator/UNDP Resident Representative in Belarus: "The Sustainable Development Goals are all about people, regardless of the colour of their skin or whether have a disability or not. All people should have equal rights and opportunities. This is our planet Earth. This beautiful place of the Belovezhskaya Pushcha is important not only for the Belarusians, but for Europe, too – this place is the lungs of Europe."
The final event of the bike ride was a festive concert in the Tsar's Glade of the Belovezhskaya Pushcha.
