| Summary: | In 2015, the world embraced the 17
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for 2030, and agreed on
a framework of targets and indicators for tracking progress
across multiple economic sectors. Because of the
cross-cutting nature of the transport sector, several
transport-related targets and indicators are reflected in
the SDGs. But in contrast to the health, education, water,
and energy sectors, there is no single SDG dedicated
exclusively to transport. The sector is also scant in direct
targets, indicators, and direct data collection. To address
this, the Sustainable Mobility for All (SuM4All)
initiative—a multi-stakeholder partnership acting
collectively to help transform the transport sector—has
developed a Global Tracking Framework (GTF) for transport,
complementing the targets and indicators in the SDGs. This
Global Tracking Framework is featured in the GlobalMobility
Report which provides the first-ever assessment of all modes
of transport across theglobe. The framework will provide
crucial information and tools to inform transport policy and
investment decisions, and provide a baseline for measuring
progress toward sustainable mobility. |
