During 13–14 October at United Nations Headquarters in New York, the UN Road Safety Fund (UNRSF) brought together major road safety funders, public health family offices, philanthropies, and industry leaders to explore collaboration opportunities and innovative approaches to scaling funding and interventions as we reach the halfway point of the UN Decade of Action for Road Safety.

A closed-door “Strategic Dialogue on Financing Road Safety” and the public session “Catalyzing Philanthropic Leadership on Road Safety and Global Health” highlighted concrete avenues for strategic, programmatic, and financial collaboration, while identifying future opportunities in the lead-up to the 2026 UN General Assembly High-Level Meeting on Road Safety.

The Pvblic Foundation hosted the New York edition of Brands for Safer Roads, the third event in support of UNRSF initiative 24seconds, to examine successful industry-led innovative financing mechanisms and their potential application to road safety.

The meetings concluded with a forward-looking discussion with the President of the General Assembly, helping to inform preparations for the 2026 High-Level Meeting on Road Safety.
