The collection of the 2025 Global Sustainable Transport Best Practices, which includes 22 cases from 20 countries across Asia, Europe, Africa and the Americas, was officially launched on Wednesday at the United Nations (UN) headquarters in New York. The 22 cases span multiple aspects of sustainability, including green infrastructure, low-carbon technology, digital-smart upgrades and public-transit modernization. The event also held in-depth talks on rolling out the UN Decade of Sustainable Transport (2026-2035). The celebrated best practices from 2025 include innovative cases from countries like China, Egypt, Ethiopia, South Africa, Brazil, Singapore, Malaysia and international organizations such as the UN Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific, the UN Economic Commission for Europe, and the United Nations Development Programme. In 2023, the UN General Assembly declared the first ever United Nations Decade of Sustainable Transport to start in 2026, and started to collect sustainable transport practices worldwide. The United Nations Decade of Sustainable Transport is expected to further raise awareness of transport's crucial role in advancing the Sustainable Development Goals, and to gather and rally new and replicable solutions to advance sustainable transport globally.
