International Road Federation - IRF 174d ago

The International Road Federation (IRF), together with a coalition of global partners, today announced a commitment to the United Nations (UN) Decade of Sustainable Transport (2026–2035)aimed at accelerating the transition towards inclusive, safe, green and efficient road systems for all. Roads are the arteries of global mobility, connecting people, goods and opportunities. They are key enabler for economic growth, resilient infrastructure, trade, global supply chains, climate action, health promotion, poverty reduction and access to education. How road systems are planned, built and managed will determine whether the UN Decade of Sustainable Transport achieves its goals. The Implementation Plan of the UN Decade of Sustainable Transport was launched today on 10 December 2025 at a Special Event in the ECOSOC Chamber at the United Nations Headquarters in New York, followed by a series of multistakeholder dialogues where IRF presented this new voluntary commitment.
