UN Decade on Sustainable Transport

In 2023, the United Nations (UN) General Assembly declared the first-ever United Nations Decade of Sustainable Transport to start in 2026 (Resolution A/78/148), underscoring transport’s critical role as an enabler for the attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA), in collaboration with UN Regional Commissions, is tasked with the preparation of a UN Implementation Plan for the UN Decade, in consultation with “Member States, specialised agencies, funds, programmes and bodies of the United Nations, as well as other intergovernmental organisations, non-governmental organisations and relevant stakeholders”.

The global emissions of the transport sector are heading in the wrong direction, accounting for the fastest-growing source of emissions around the world. We must change this trend now and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change underlines that a pathway for transport which contributes to maintaining global temperature rise below 1.5°C is possible.

SLOCAT at COPs

SLOCAT provided thought leadership and advocacy to shape the global sustainable, low carbon transport agenda at UN Climate Chance Conferences (COPs), with growing credibility, influence and increased cooperation with our Partners and actors within and beyond the transport community.

Our Vision

Sustainable Low Carbon Transport

Transport is the lifeline of our communities and economies. Expanding passenger and freight transport services that are efficient, accessible, affordable, safe, sustainable and resilient is among the most impactful steps to enable inclusive communities and shared prosperity for a liveable planet. To get there, changes in the policy, resources, practice, mentalities, and relationships for transport are needed.

SLOCAT works to foster inclusive, coordinated and transformative progress to strengthen transport systems that are socially inclusive, economically viable, environmentally responsible, and resilient.
