The "Global Best Practice Cases for Sustainable Transportation" was released at the United Nations Headquarters in New York on the 16th local time. The 22 published cases cover 20 countries across four continents—Asia, Europe, America, and Africa—in areas including transportation infrastructure, green and low-carbon technology, digital and smart transformation, and public transport optimization.
The release event was co-hosted by the China International Center for Innovation and Knowledge in Sustainable Transportation and the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs.
The cases were recommended by international organizations such as the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific, United Nations Development Programme, International Maritime Organization, as well as the transport authorities of China, Malaysia, Singapore, Brazil, Egypt, South Africa, and other countries. These cases showcase globally innovative, replicable, and scalable policies, projects, engineering solutions, and technologies in the transportation sector, comprehensively reflecting the core values of a sustainable transportation system: "safety, convenience, efficiency, greenness, economy, inclusivity, and resilience", and demonstrate the synergy between transportation and global economic, social, and cultural development.
In his speech at the event, UN Assistant Secretary-General Hanif said that these cases prove that sustainable transportation is not an abstract concept but is built upon countless innovative practices, providing a solid practical foundation for the "UN Decade of Sustainable Transport (2026-2035)" Action Plan.
He called on all stakeholders to take the global best practices in sustainable transportation as an opportunity to actively carry out deeper cooperation and jointly construct a sustainable transportation system.
At the event, the Chinese delegation shared Zhejiang Shaoxing’s "Four Good Rural Roads" case, Beijing’s MaaS Green Mobility case, and the China Energy Construction Zaohe Expressway Green Energy Integration Project.
