Making progress together: The 3rd Global Ministerial Conference on Road Safety ⌵︎
The 3rd Global High-Level Conference on Road Safety was held on February 19-20, 2020, in Stockholm, Sweden and offered a major opportunity for the road safety community to come together to address the road safety crisis, and to influence many key stakeholders who might not identify themselves as part of the road safety agenda. The World Bank and GRSF were actively involved in the conference and numerous side-events. Our delegation was headed by Infrastructure Vice-President Makhtar Diop, and included South Asia Regional Vice-President Hart Schafer, Global Director for Transport Guangzhe Chen, and the Head of GRSF Soames Job.
The Swedish Minister for Infrastructure, Tomas Eneroth, presented the Stockholm Declaration, the main outcome of the conference. This ambitious and forward-looking statement connects road safety to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The declaration noted the increased commitment of the World Bank to road safety, and the increased support for the vital work of GRSF over the decade.
Now is the time to turn ideas, experiences and shared knowledge and successes into action. A strong political commitment is required at all levels, together with regional and national strategies, and road safety action plans and more effective funding of road safety.
The World Bank and grsf co-sponsored, co-organized and had key speaking roles in 18 official high-level panels, sessions and side events in the 3rd Global High-Level Conference on Road Safety. This representation was instrumental in reviewing the progress and defining ways to accelerate action on proven strategies to save lives.
