dc.description.abstract<p>The 94th issue presents articles on the theme of “Road Safety in Asia and the Pacific”.</p> <p>Road safety remains a major challenge for sustainable development in the Asia-Pacific region, where one person dies on the roads every 44 seconds. ESCAP calculations based on data from the Global Status Report on Road Safety published by the WHO in 2023 indicated that 59 per cent of global road fatalities occurred in this region. Although road fatalities declined by 7 percent between 2016 and 2021, the fatality rate in 2021 was 15.15 per 100,000 inhabitants, slightly higher than the global average of 15.05, with vulnerable road users (VRUs) such as motorcyclists, pedestrians, and cyclists accounting for 66.54 per cent of fatalities.</p> <p>Road fatalities and injuries also place significant economic burden to our countries. In addition, the social consequences of road crashes are significant and not only limited to victims and their families but also spread over the entire nation. Therefore, reaching the road safety-related targets of the 2030 Agenda is critical to building safe and sustainable societies.</p> <p>The Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Target 3.6 aims to halve global road traffic deaths and injuries by 2030. This goal was reaffirmed by UN General Assembly Resolution 74/299, proclaiming 2021–2030 as the Second Decade of Action for Road Safety. To meet this target, the Asia-Pacific region must reduce road traffic fatalities by an average of 7.4 per cent annually from 2021 to 2030, as indicated by the latest WHO data.</p>
