| United Nations Decade of Sustainable Transport Launch of the UN Decade on 10 December 2025 Call for Sustainable Transport Action Commitments Submit your voluntary commitment Deadline: 14 November 2025 In 2023, the General Assembly declared the first ever United Nations Decade of Sustainable Transport to start in 2026. The General Assembly, through resolution 78/148 titled “Strengthening the links between all modes of transport to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals” also called for the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA) to develop an Implementation Plan for the UN Decade of Sustainable Transport, in collaboration with the UN Regional Commissions and in consultation with the Member States, the United Nations system and all other relevant stakeholders. The Implementation Plan will be launched on 10 December 2025 at a special event in the ECOSOC Chamber at the United Nations Headquarters in New York. This multi-stakeholder event will also signify the launch of the United Nations Decade of Sustainable Transport. The launch event will provide an opportunity for Member States and a variety of stakeholders to showcase their commitment to sustainable transport, share good practices and make announcements of the actions and activities they intend to take to advance sustainable transport during the UN Decade. The launch will pave the way for continued assessment of activities and progress during the UN Decade and increased global visibility of sustainable transport in SDG dialogues. The meeting will be open to Member States and Observers, the United Nations system, ECOSOC-accredited non-governmental organizations and other relevant stakeholders through a dedicated registration process. Call for Sustainable Transport Action Commitments To kickstart the United Nations Decade of Sustainable Transport with tangible action, United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs has opened a call for Sustainable Transport Action Commitments. These commitments and initiatives can be made by all Member States and other stakeholders, and they aim at delivering concrete progress throughout the UN Decade. Commitments will be highlighted throughout the UN Decade of Sustainable Transport at different United Nations events, starting with the 10 December 2025 launch of the Implementation Plan of the United Nations Decade of Sustainable Transport. To enhance transparency and accountability, all initiatives will be registered on a dedicated digital space, hosted on the UN Decade website, which allows the public to access information. The action commitments will become a prominent part of the implementation and follow-up of the UN Decade. Implementing entities will be invited to share updates on progress later during the UN Decade. Submit your commitment here The deadline for submissions is 14 November 2025 (COB, EDT).
