We connect it with related topics such as health, sustainable cities, climate change, education, poverty and equality.
We are passionate young people from across the world taking action on safe mobility issues.

GET INVOLVED wITH THE YOUTH CONSULTATION
The Youth Consultation 2023 - 2024 will gather the perspectives of young leaders that show the connections between road safety and broader development issues. This will provide valuable insights to influence and advise policymakers in strategies to keep #ClaimingOurSpace and will give us a better idea of what the road safety situation is like for youth around the world.
The Consultation will be a way to meaningfully include young voices in the design, implementation, and accountability processes of road safety and sustainable mobility policy-making at local and international levels. It will feature interactive and informative videos, infographics, and prompted and general questions that will help create a solid idea of road safety and sustainable mobility issues on the ground.

Road crashes are A GLOBAL CRISIS THAT NEED
ACTION RIGHT NOW
Young people matter. Today's generation of young people is the largest ever in our history. Over 3 billion people – nearly half of the world's population – are under the age of 25. Of these children and young people, more than 1000 die every day on the world’s roads. Tens of thousands more are injured.
Road traffic injuries have been the leading killer of young people worldwide for over a decade, so why are youth so often not included in preventing these tragedies?
Young people have a right to be adequately informed, consulted and empowered to contribute to preventing road traffic injuries.
