Decisions on transport policies and investments determine whether economies can grow and communities become more inclusive while reducing emissions and improving air quality. While countries may start from different contexts, a quantified global goal for transport will provide a shared direction for expanding inclusive, climate-compatible, and resilient transport systems and services worldwide. It will drive coordinated action at scale and enable solutions tailored to local needs for lasting impact. On the road to the first-ever UN Decade of Sustainable Transport (2026-2035), and to implement what countries agreed at the first Global Stocktake of the Paris Agreement in 2023, we need clear ministerial leadership to guide the many actors eager to set a global goal for transport. National and sub-national governments, business, and civil society are ready to act but without coordinated direction and multi-level governance, efforts risk fragmentation. Ministers can set the vision, align incentives, and channel this momentum into a structured process toward setting a global goal for transport.
