The paper "Towards Effective Monitoring for the UN Decade of Sustainable Transport", authored by Holger Dalkmann, James Leather, Sudhir Gota, and Alvin Mejia, explores how a future monitoring framework for the UN Decade of Sustainable Transport (2026-2035) can be designed to support accountability, guide policy, and improve data systems. Drawing on lessons from past UN Decades, regional initiatives such as the Asian Transport Observatory.

It highlights nine foundational elements to guide the process: defining clear goals and targets; selecting meaningful and usable indicators; tailoring the framework to its main users; balancing fixed and flexible metrics; addressing data gaps and quality; including policy tracking; incorporating subnational perspectives; supporting regional differentiation; and recognizing transport’s connections to other sectors such as energy, health, and land use.
