Image
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.

Every year, the world's roads take over a million lives and talents.

  As every year, the objectives of WDoR 2025 are to provide a platform for road traffic victims and their families to: remember all people killed and seriously injured on the roads; acknowledge the crucial work of the emergency services; draw attention to the generally trivial legal response to culpable road deaths and injuries and advocate for an appropriately serious response; advocate for better support for road traffic victims and victim families; promote evidence-based actions to prevent and eventually stop further road traffic deaths and injuries Every year, millions more road victims are added to the current toll of over 50 million killed and hundreds of millions injured since the first road death. It is an actual pandemic, affecting primarily our vulnerable and our young, which in addition to the trauma of injury and bereavement has also a devastating economic impact for countries, communities and families.
