MOBILIZING DEVELOPMENT

Recommendations

Info

FOREWORD BY THE SECRETARY-GENERAL Sustainable transport is fundamental to progress in realizing the promise of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and in achieving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Sustainable transport supports inclusive growth, job creation, poverty reduction, access to markets, the empowerment of women, and the well-being of persons with disabilities and other vulnerable groups. It is also essential to our efforts to fight climate change, reduce air pollution and improve road safety. Yet despite this critical role, sustainable transport has not been given adequate recognition. It was in this context that I formed the High-Level Advisory Group on Sustainable Transport to develop recommendations to help the world address rising congestion and pollution, particularly in urban areas, and to better tap into the tremendous opportunities that sustainable transport can make possible. This report sets out forward-looking recommendations. It is also meant to serve as a contribution to the first-ever Global Sustainable Transport Conference, which I will convene in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan, on 26-27 November 2016. I thank the Members of the High-Level Advisory Group for their efforts and dedication, and encourage all partners to work together for progress on this key global endeavour.
