Vision Zero campaign

There is a global movement for government legislators to take urgent actions towards a world of zero road deaths and injuries, zero greenhouse gas emissions and zero air pollution by road traffic. There are united calls for post-crash care for the injured and bereaved.

• The UN Sustainable Development Goals, adopted in 2015, call for deaths and injuries on roads to be halved by 2020, and for sustainable transport to be accessible to all by 2030 [1].
• We are nearing the end of an international Decade of Action for Road Safety [2].
• An April 16 UN resolution was passed on "Improving global road safety" [3].
• The UN is considering leveraging a Road Safety Fund to combat road carnage globally [4].
