World Sustainable Transport Day 2025; November 26th.

FORUM:"Moving towards the new UN Decade of Sustainable Transport.'' World Sustainable Transport Day 2025. Sustainable transport connects communities, ensuring access to education, healthcare and economic opportunities. It underpins resilient economies by creating jobs, supporting livelihoods, reducing poverty and strengthening overall community resilience. Following the COP30 climate conference in Brazil, this year’s World Sustainable Transport Day focuses the road transport sector towards the new UN Decade of Sustainable Transport (2026–2035). The Decade, beginning on 1 January 2026, has six strategic pillars: equitable access; decarbonisation and access; logistics efficiency; people-centred urban mobility; safe and clean transport; and science, technology and innovation. As we mark the third World Sustainable Transport Day, we’ve already seen good progress on sustainability awareness. The upcoming UN Decade of Sustainable Transport will build on this momentum. A successful UN Decade will be measured by results on the ground. It's time to support governments and the road transport industry to drive real change. Let’s seize the opportunity and make mobility and logistics even safer, more efficient and greener for all. Follow the conversations with the hashtags: #26november, #sustainableTransportDay, #resilientTransport, #inclusiveTransport, #safetransport.
