The World Day of Remembrance of Road Traffic Victims is an opportunity to reflect on how we can save millions of lives.
世界道路交通受害者紀念日是我們反思如何拯救契機萬人生命的機會。
More than 1.3 million people die in road accidents every year. And more young people aged between 15-29 die from road crashes each year than from HIV/AIDs, malaria, tuberculosis or homicide.
每年有130多萬人死於交通事故。每年死於車禍的15至29歲青年人數超過死於愛滋病毒/愛滋病、瘧疾、結核病或兇殺的人數。
While the scale of the challenge is enormous, collective efforts can do much to prevent these tragedies.
挑戰是艱巨的，但通過集體努力，可以在預防這些悲劇方面做出很大成績。
Saving lives by improving road safety is one of the many objectives of the2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. And since 2015, my Special Envoy on Road Safety has worked to mobilize political commitment, raise awareness about the United Nations road safety conventions, foster dialogue on good practices and advocate for funding and partnerships.
改善道路安全拯救生命是《2030年可持續發展議程》的許多目標之一。自2015年以來，我的道路安全問題特使一直努力調動政治承諾，提高對各項聯合國道路安全公約的認識，促進關於良好做法的對話，並推動提供資金和建立夥伴關係。
In 2018, a UN Road Safety Fund was launched to finance actions in low- and middle-income countries, where around 90 per cent of traffic casualties occur. And in February next year, a global ministerial conference on road safety will be held in Sweden to strengthen partnerships to accelerate action.
2018年，聯合國啟動了聯合國道路安全基金，為低收入和中等收入國家的行動提供資金，因為約90%的交通傷亡都發生在這些國家。明年2月，將在瑞典舉行一次全球道路安全問題部長級會議，以加強夥伴關係，加快行動步伐。
Urgent action remains imperative. On this World Day, I call on all to join forces to address the global road safety crisis.
必須緊急行動起來。值此世界紀念日，我呼籲所有人齊心協力，共同解決全球道路安全危機。
