Background
United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs participated in the International Trnasport Forum Summit 2025 in Leipzig, Germany, and organized two events as part of the preparations of the upcoming United Nations Decade of Sustainable Transport.
The public Open Stage Café event on 22 May 2025 raised awareness about the UN Decade and its associated Implementation Plan and brought together different stakeholders to discuss, among other topics, in what ways can the UN Decade of Sustainable Transport boost our efforts towards more sustainable transport, addressing all modes of transport and both passanger transport and freight. The event was attended by over 80 participants from all over the world.
On 23 May 2025, DESA held a closed consultation with key stakeholders participating in the ITF Summit to discuss the draft outline of the Implementation Plan of the UN Decade. The consultation was an invaluable moment for DESA and the UN Regional Commissions to receive initial feedback from Member States, UN system and other stakeholders on the draft elements of the outline of the Implementation Plan.
