SDG Target #3.6

SDG #3 is to “To ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages.”

Within SDG #3 are 13 targets, of which we here focus on Target 3.6:

By 2020, halve the number of global deaths and injuries from road traffic accidents 

Target 3.6 has one indicator:

  • Indicator 3.6.1: Death rate due to road traffic injuries

According to WHO data, as of 2019, the death rate from road traffic injuries has reduced only 0.3 per 100,00 people worldwide, from 17 deaths per 100,000 in 2015, clearly missing this target for 2020, 10 years ahead of the SDGs in total.
