Hyper-digitalization of large segments of the world economy is transforming the way we communicate, learn, relate to one another, connect, and move. Our world is rapidly changing; with an abundance of new opportunities, come new risks and vulnerabilities that must be managed. As countries around the world undergo a fundamental reconfiguration to adapt, making the right policy decisions has become more challenging than ever. Transportation and mobility define the very wellbeing of our daily lives and livelihoods and therefore, rethinking and adapting transport policy must be prioritized.
The Sustainable Mobility for All (SuM4All) partnership—a coalition of over 50 influential international organizations hosted by the World Bank—has stepped up to meet this challenge and has developed a new approach to designing and planning transport policy, with a set of tools that are adapted to this fast-paced environment.
As part of this effort, SuM4All collaboratively defined the ambition for transport around four reinforcing goals: universal (equitable) access, efficiency, safety, and green mobility. Aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Climate Agreement, these four goals provide the foundation for building a better future for our planet.
