Safe transport is a subject of SDG targets 3.6 and 11.2, and the focus of a decade of action 2021-2030. Speaking during a one-day preparatory event, UNGA President Abdulla Shahid noted a divergence in national capacities for road safety, and said realizing the global target will require increased support to low- and middle-income countries. The meeting also featured panel discussions on: sustainable domestic financing for road safety; sustainable international and private financing for road safety; the role of the private sector, civil society, academia and youth in road safety; and engaging government, regional integration bodies, the UN, and other international organizations in road safety.
