The burden of road traffic injuries is a significant global challenge requiring urgent attention and investment. By integrating road safety investments with broader development goals and leveraging innovative financing solutions such as labeled sustainable bonds and loans, available financing for road safety projects can be dramatically increased.

The societal, economic, and human benefits of improving road safety are extensive, making it a critical priority for national agendas. Through strategic investments in road safety, economic burdens can be mitigated, long-term growth promoted, and a safer, more equitable world created for all.

The multilateral development banks -- together with the Global Road Safety Facility and with strong donor support -- can help countries catalyze the sustainable finance market to fund high-impact and results-oriented road safety projects.
