The UN General Assembly, through resolution 77/286, declared November 26 World Sustainable Transport Day, marking the anniversary of the first Global Sustainable Transport Conference, hosted by China in Beijing in 2016. The day recognizes transport systems as a vital artery of economic and social development, directly connecting people to markets and essential services like education and healthcare. The day aims to accelerate the shift toward safer, more efficient, and environmentally sustainable transport systems, including expanding public transit, promoting clean transport options like electric vehicles and bicycles, and improving infrastructure in developing countries where transport networks remain weak. It links the transport sector to the Sustainable Development Goals on climate, poverty, and equality. Member states and international transport organizations hold discussions on future transport policy, local initiatives promoting eco-friendly mobility, and awareness campaigns on how daily transport choices affect the environment and climate.
