1 September 2020: Governments around the world commit to halving road traffic deaths and injuries during a new decade of action.
The UN General Assembly has adopted resolution A/74/L.86 “Improving global road safety”, proclaiming the Second Decade of Action for Road Safety 2021-2030, with the ambitious target of halving the raw number of road traffic deaths and injuries by 2030.
iRAP will continue to play a key role in planning for the next plan of action alongside the UN Road Safety Collaboration and partners.
La segunda década de acción para la seguridad vial continuará reforzando 12 objetivos globales de desempeño en seguridad vial, incluido Objetivo 3: Todas las carreteras nuevas deberán ser de 3 estrellas o superior y Objetivo 4: >75% de viajes en el equivalente a 3 estrellas o superior para todos para 2030.
The resolution also endorses the Stockholm Declaration, approved during the Third Global Ministerial Conference on Road Safety held in February 2020, and encourages Member States to favour policies to promote walking, cycling and using public transport as inherently healthy and environmentally sound modes of transport.
“In a post-pandemic world, we must take the opportunity of these unprecedented times to reimagine mobility, to make it safe, affordable, accessible and sustainable,” notes Dr Etienne Krug, WHO Director of the Department of Social Determinants of Health. “Road safety is at the heart of making this vision a reality.”
The Second Decade of Action for Road Safety 2021-2030 provides an opportunity for harnessing the successes and lessons of previous years and building upon them to save lives on the world’s roads and facilitate achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.
