Implementing the UN Decade of Sustainable Transport | HLPF 2024 Side Event
Thu 11 Jul 2024, 1.15 pmBackground
In 2023, the General Assembly resolution 78/148 titled “Strengthening the links between all modes of transport to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals” called, among others, for closer UN cooperation, a UN Decade on of Sustainable Transport (2026-2035), and a Third UN Global Sustainable Transport Conference, and the celebration of the next World Sustainable Transport Day on 26 November 2024.
The Member States also requested the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA) to develop an Implementation Plan for the UN Decade of Sustainable Transport, in collaboration with the UN Regional Commissions and in consultation with the Member States, the United Nations system and all other relevant stakeholders.
This side event will provide an opportunity for Member States and all relevant stakeholders to consider how the UN Decade of Sustainable Transport and its associated Implementation Plan can best advance sustainable transport and its contributions to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. The event will pave the way for more formal consultations with the Member States and other stakeholders later in 2024.
The side event will be held in hybrid format to allow for online participation through Microsoft Teams. Please indicate if you will join the event in person or online. The link will be shared with online participants prior to the event.

The event will be held in English only.
The side event is organized by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, together with the UN Regional Commissions, and kindly hosted by UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD).
