I have enjoyed reviewing this module on the links between road safety and global development. It's true that if we focus on road safety and sustainable mobility, we can help achieve our 2030 targets, but we cannot act in isolation.

"Road safety links to so many development issues across the SDGs. My lecture in this module illustrates some of the less obvious links to the SDGs and places where there are bi-directional benefits".
DR AMY PEDEN
"Road safety is key not only to reducing road traffic issues, but also in tackling other related health and environmental challenges. To understand these challenges and their connection with other broader development agendas I recommend taking YOURS Academy modules which provide relevant information in an interactive way. In additions to their resourcefulness, the modules are designed simply to help learners to understand the content in a unique way while also enjoying the process".
