Recognising the unacceptable scale of road trauma globally, World Leaders gathered in New York last week to commit to an increase in investment and action to ensure the SDG goal to halve road deaths and injuries by 2030 is met.\u00a0 Ensuring the Global Plan for the Decade of Action is embraced and implemented at a national level was highlighted by many, including the need to meet Targets 3 and 4 for safer road infrastructure for all road users.<\/p>\n

Partners\u2019 work in more than 100 countries and the critical need for high-level prioritisation of safe roads were key focusses of the first ever UN High-level Meeting on Road Safety<\/a>\u00a0held from 30 June to 1 July.<\/p>\n

iRAP CEO Rob McInerney and Global Strategic Projects Director Julio Urzua were on-the-ground to meet with Ministers and delegations to support their ongoing efforts to target high-risk roads, set policy targets for 3-star or better new and existing roads, provide the business case for safer roads and invest in the proven treatments that can save lives and reduce injuries.<\/p>\n

\u201cBuilding on the iRAP partnerships that now extend across more than 100 countries worldwide and an associated US$80 billion of investment made safer, the event provided the opportunity for delegations to share success and inspiration for what is possible as leaders committed to Securing a decade of action and delivery<\/em> for road safety.\u201d Rob said.<\/p>\n

The meeting was attended by Heads of State, Ministers and Member States’ representatives of Permanent Missions to the United Nations, as well as select road safety NGOs and stakeholders, granted attendance by application.<\/p>\n

It resulted in a Political Declaration and, based on analysis by the Global Alliance of NGOs for Road Safety, the presentation of 73 Statements by Member States sharing the road safety progress of their countries. Of those, 80% mentioned a national strategy, 55% mentioned a specific national road death reduction and only 21% mentioned a budget allocation. Read the Alliance’s :<\/p>\n
