43 Mobilizing Sustainable Transport for Development The role of the United Nations Carrying forward an effective and timely implementation of these recommendations to mobilize sustainable transport for development will require leadership and concerted, coordinated action from public authorities at all levels: the private sector, the research community, civil society, multi- and bi-lateral development banks and international organizations. With its global reach and universal membership, the United Nations has an essential role to play in the realization of sustainable transport, using its unique position and internationally-recognized leadership to bring together the wide range of stakeholders who can make these recommendations a reality. As the international community now increasingly recognizes the importance of sustainable transport in all credible efforts for sustainable development and in achieving the climate change goals, the United Nations needs to step forward and focus on sustainable transport. The United Nations could support a coalition or partnership network to strengthen coherence and accelerate action in support of transformative change by mobilizing cooperative action among relevant United Nations organizations and actors outside the United Nations system that are key to scaling up sustainable transport. Other initiatives available to Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, his successor and the United Nations include the nomination of a Special Envoy on Sustainable Transport and the declaration of an annual United Nations Day or a United Nations Year of Sustainable Transport. Whatever tools the United Nations chooses to employ, the High-Level Advisory Group urges the organization to pledge the highest level of commitment to sustainable transport, with adequate resources, strategic thinking and a bold and innovative spirit.
