We love the new Global Plan! If you missed the Launch<\/a> of the Global Plan for the Second Decade of Action for Road Safety<\/a> on Thursday 28 October it’s not too late to hear how safer road infrastructure will help to halve global road deaths and injuries by 2030.<\/p>\n The Plan was developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Regional Commissions, in cooperation with partners in the United Nations Road Safety Collaboration and other stakeholders.<\/p>\n It outlines the \u201cwhat to do, how to do it and who to do it\u201d to achieve the 12 Global Road Safety Performance Targets<\/a>, calling on governments and partners to implement the Safe Systems Approach in the creation and implementation of strategies and programmes for road safety, sustainable mobility and urban design.<\/p>\n Safe road infrastructure is a key focus of the Plan, alongside safe road use, safe vehicles, multimodal transport and land-use planning, and post-crash response.<\/p>\n

and our safe schools partnerships (see 56:50 minute mark<\/a>)<\/p>\n \u201cAs we begin the Second Decade of Action, all governments must step up with real commitments to provide minimum 3-star safety

life-saving emergency care for the injured.\u00a0The Global Plan also reflects the Stockholm Declaration\u2019s promotion of policies to promote walking, cycling and using public transport as inherently healthy and environmentally sound modes of transport.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image
