Summary: The present report, prepared by the World Health Organization in cooperation with the United Nations regional commissions and in consultation with other partners of the United Nations Road Safety Collaboration, provides an update of the status of the implementation of the recommendations contained in General Assembly resolutions 58/289, 60/5, 62/244, 64/255 and 66/260 on improving global road safety. The report describes activities and achievements by the global road safety community in pursuance of the objectives of the Decade of Action for Road Safety (2011-2020) since the previous report of the Secretary-General (66/389). Several high-profile events during this period attest to the recognition of the problem around the world and the solutions that Governments and other stakeholders need to implement in order to reduce road traffic crashes and their consequences on public health and development. These events, all of which drew attention to road safety from the highest political levels, included the World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims in November 2012, the launch of the Global Status Report on Road Safety 2013: Supporting a Decade of Action in March 2013, the second United Nations Global Road Safety Week held from 6 to 12 May 2013 and the launch of the Global Alliance for Care of the Injured in May 2013. The report concludes with a number of recommendations for consideration by the Assembly for achieving the goals of the Decade of Action for Road Safety.
