The UN Road Safety Fund at the 2026 UN General Assembly High-Level Meeting on Road Safety 

As per UN General Assembly resolution A/80/L.46  the UNGA High-Level Meeting on Road Safety (HLM), will take place the 20–21 July under the theme “Scaling up and accelerating implementation of commitments to halving road traffic deaths and injuries by 2030”. 

It is a key opportunity for the global community to mobilize stronger commitments, sustainable financing, and coordinated action to address the global road safety crisis and accelerate progress toward SDG target 3.6. 

The UN Road Safety Fund (UNRSF) will play an active role during the HLM, joining leaders from governments, the private sector, civil society, and community networks to advance practical solutions and strengthen partnerships that translate commitments into life-saving action on the ground. 

We are pleased to inform Member States and partners that the UNRSF Partnership Pledging Conference will take place on Monday, 20 July 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. (EST) at United Nations Headquarters in New York. 

Co-hosted by member states, the UN Secretary-General’s Special Envoy for Road Safety, and the UN Regional Commissions New York Office, the Conference will serve as an important platform for multistakeholder commitments that reinforce and replenish the UN Road Safety Fund. It aims to mobilize USD 10.6 million to sustain and expand UNRSF interventions, enabling the Fund to drive stronger, more coordinated road safety action and impact during the second half of the Decade of Action for Road Safety. 

Member States, senior executives, and philanthropists are encouraged to attend in person at the highest level. Each delegation may register a speaker to announce pledges as indicated in the UNRSF Pledging Form.  

The deadline for registration and submission of pledges is 6 July 2026 (COB New York).
