When designed to be inclusive, transport is a strong driver of economic growth and poverty reduction. But transport currently has serious negative impacts including road crashes resulting in loss of life and injuries, air pollution that harms human health, noise and greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global warming. The draft Results Framework on Sustainable Transport describes the possible contribution of sustainable transport to the realisation of the post-2015 Development Agenda that is currently being discussed by a special Open Working Group of the United Nations General Assembly.
