Prince speech

"My three-point plan, to set a new UN target for 2030, to boost funding, and to increase political commitment for road safety, is inter-related. A target is needed to measure performance, funds are needed for effectiveness, and political commitment is needed for action. All three are about leadership. The ITF Summit is a unique forum where Transport Ministers can demonstrate leadership and I am very grateful for this opportunity to address you and to make this request."

SDG targets

Funding for global road safety initiatives remains wholly inadequate. With the notable exception of @BloombergDotOrg, @FIAFdn and some official bilateral donors resources at present are far below the estimated $770 million per year required to achieve the reductions in road fatalities and serious injuries envisaged by the #SDGs.
