This side event brings together governments, private sector, investors and other stakeholders to explore how rethinking transport infrastructure success metrics to move beyond traditional policy goals (like time saved) can increase resilience, prosperity and economic development whilst also unlocking benefits for societal well-being, health, access and equity. The event will also look at the differences between passenger and freight transport systems. Aligned with the UN Decade of Sustainable Transport, the session will showcase regional case inputs (Europe, Asia, Africa, LAC) which offer practical and fundable actions that multiply SDG impact and cut fossil-fuel demand.
