Road Safety Sustainable Development Goal Briefing

Governments, UN agencies and experts in road safety and sustainable transport convened at UN Headquarters in New York on 4 March to advance the agenda on road traffic injury in the Post-2015 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The briefing session, which was timed ahead of the forthcoming negotiations on the SDGs later in the month, was organised by the FIA Foundation and included 27 UN Permanent Missions, the World Health Organisation, the UN Environment Programme, UNICEF and the World Bank.

The FIA Foundation presented its policy briefing ‘2015 – Safe Roads for All’, and the session was chaired by FIA Foundation Director General Saul Billingsley. He said: “This session has provided a highly valuable opportunity to gather Governments who are negotiating the SDGs together and to hear from a full range of UN agencies and experts on the proposed target to halve road traffic fatalities, and how it can be implemented. We are entering the final stages of negotiations on the SDGs in the coming months so it’s crucial that there is support for retaining the target as we move ahead.”
