Sustainable mobility is a global challenge and a shared mission. As cities grow, temperatures rise, and traffic-related deaths remain alarmingly high, the need to redesign transport systems has never been more urgent. Safer, greener, and more inclusive mobility is not just a goal; it’s a necessity.
That’s why initiatives like Sustainable Mobility for All (SuM4All) matter. SuM4All is a powerful global platform that brings together over 60 organisations, from UN agencies and development banks to civil society and the private sector, to shape a common agenda for the future of mobility. And now, youth have a seat at that table. We’re proud to share that YOURS – Youth for Road Safety is officially part of the SuM4All Consortium!
As the only youth-led organisation focused on road safety and sustainable mobility within the consortium, YOURS brings the creativity, determination and global reach of a movement driven by young people. Our role is clear: ensure youth are not only present in the conversation, but fully shaping the direction of sustainable transport solutions.
“It is a true honour for YOURS to have been accepted to join the Sustainable Mobility for All (Sum4All) initiative and contribute to the collective mission of creating safer, more equitable, and sustainable transport systems worldwide. We believe that young people must be at the centre of global mobility solutions, and through meaningful collaboration, they can contribute to and influence global dialogues on sustainable mobility. With Sum4All and its partners, we look forward to bringing youth vision to the initiative’s important work, fostering innovation, creativity, technology, and other hands-on elements, and ensuring that youth-led perspectives are integral to shaping policies and initiatives that affect their present and future.” Raquel Barrios, Executive Director of YOURS.
This milestone builds on what YOURS has already been doing around the world. Through our Local Actions initiative, young leaders are designing and leading projects that connect road safety with climate, accessibility, and equity in their communities. These efforts prove that youth-led change is not just possible, it’s powerful. Discover Local Actions here.
With SuM4All, we’ll amplify that impact. Together, we’ll ensure that road safety remains at the core of global mobility conversations and that youth-led ideas help shape practical, inclusive solutions.
Being part of SuM4All unlocks new opportunities for YOURS: joining expert working groups, contributing to global strategies, and building partnerships that strengthen advocacy and action. This isn’t just a new membership—it’s a meaningful step forward in embedding youth leadership at the heart of sustainable mobility.
