The UNRSF Platforms of Engagement are multi-stakeholder networks of thought leaders working together to shape mobility in a safer and more sustainable way, focused on the SDGs in combination with road safety. There are six platforms: Low-Carbon Sustainable Cities; Education; Gender Equality; Health; Partnerships and Data; and Economic Growth. Platform members meet to discuss and share experiences, lessons learned and ideas on high-impact road safety projects that have strong potential to trigger substantial catalytic investments to reduce road traffic fatalities.
