With deep concern that the number of road traffic crashes remains unacceptably high, Member States decided to convene the high-level meeting on improving global road safety on 20 and 21 July 2026, with the objective of scaling up and accelerating implementation of commitments to halving road traffic deaths and injuries by 2030.
Multi-stakeholder Panel 1: Strengthening multisectoral coordination for road safety, drawing on best practices and lessons from countries successfully reducing road traffic deaths and injuries. Multi-stakeholder Panel 2: Whole-of-government and whole-of society action for sustainable financing and enhanced capacity. Each year, road crashes claim more than 1.19 million lives, a reduction of 5 per cent since 2010, but the progress still falls short of the pace required to meet the 2030 target. Ninety-two per cent of these deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries. Road traffic crashes remain the leading cause of death among children and young people aged 5-29 years.
