Global Status Report - Country Profiles

7 May 2024

The Global Status Report on road safety 2023 details the scale of global road traffic deaths, and progress in advancing laws, strategies and actions to reduce them around the world. Individual Profiles are now available for countries.

The fifth report in a series, it provides an overview of progress between 2010 and 2021, and sets a baseline for the United Nations Decade of Action for Road Safety 2021-2030 target of halving road traffic deaths and injuries by 2030. 

The report shows that the number of road traffic deaths has fallen slightly to 1.19 million per year, and that efforts to improve road safety are having an impact. Yet the price paid for mobility remains far too high, and urgent action is needed if the goal of halving road traffic deaths and injuries by 2030 is to be achieved.

Profiles are available for countries or territories who participated in the GSRRS 2023 data collection survey.
