UNRSC SIDE EVENT – Halving Road Deaths and Injuries by 2030
In the framework of The second United Nations Global Sustainable Transport Conference (14-16 October 2021 – Beijing, China) the United Nations Road Safety Collaboration (UNRSC) will host a side event, on 15th October 2021 from 16:15 to 17:30 (CEST) entitled “Halving Road Deaths and Injuries by 2030: the UN Decade of Action for Road Safety 2021-2030”.
With the launch of the UN Decade of Action Plan for Road Safety now officially scheduled on 28th October 2021, this two hours online event, coordinated by the International Road Federation (IRF) and the International Road Assessment Programme (iRAP), will help create momentum for the launch and provide important background and focus on the role of reduced road trauma in supporting Sustainable Transport and Sustainable Development. The event will be structured around the 12 Global Road Safety Performance Targets in alignment with the Thematic Session 5 on Policies for sustainable transport. A specific focus on financing safe and sustainable transport has also been included as an important enabler for action on the 12 Targets.
