Seizing the Opportunity: Digital Innovation for a Sustainable Future
In an era of rapid digital transformation Asia and the Pacific is uniquely placed to leverage digital technologies to overcome sustainable development challenges. Already the region is recognized as a dynamic hub for digitally driven innovation fueled by pioneering technologies such as Artificial Intelligence Digital Finance GovTech and the Internet of Things. Yet to encourage further ingenuity and tap digital innovation to bolster the huge collective effort required to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals the region needs a plan. To help shape a coherent inclusive approach this report examines existing digital innovations which have accelerated progress towards sustainable development and explores ways to build on their successes. It proposes a framework to understand the interlinkages between digital innovation and sustainable development investigates current and emerging practices explores how an enabling environment might be created and provides recommendations for regional cooperation. To achieve the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development a deliberate strategic push is required. This report aims to inform this effort which ESCAP stands ready to support every step of the way.
Child and Adolescent Road Safety in South Asia
Low to lower-middle income nations bear 78 per cent of child road traffic injuries. Conversely high-income countries with robust safety measures account for just 3 per cent. This report outlines South Asia’s status country profiles assessment tools and guidance for effective action under the Safe Systems framework regarding child and adolescent road injuries. In 2019 injuries accounted for at least 9 per cent of the 12.2 million deaths in South Asia with approximately a quarter attributed to road traffic collisions. Among children and adolescents 171468 died from injuries with 29859 due to road traffic collisions the primary cause of injury-related death alongside drowning. The overall road traffic death rate was 6 per 100000 population though Afghanistan reported rates exceeding 16 per 100000. The region lost 2.5 million disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) due to such collisions among those under 20. With over 708 million children and adolescents in South Asia urgent governmental action is imperative given the substantial economic impact estimated to be billions of US dollars or 0.3 to 7.5 per cent of GDP. This report is intended to provide relevant information about the burden risk factors and interventions to address road traffic injuries among children and adolescents in the region. The target audience includes UNICEF staff in country and regional offices country level road safety and public health practitioners policy makers advocates and academics.

Monograph Series on Transitioning to Electric Mobility in the Asia-Pacific Region
Accelerating the Transition of Public Transport Fleets
Although a well-functioning transport sector is vital for economic and social development its emissions have negative impacts on among others air quality human health and climate change. The Asia-Pacific region contributes 27 per cent of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from transport representing a 243 per cent rise since 1990 which is faster than any other end-use sector. Transport impacts 11 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) including SDG 3.9 to reduce illnesses and deaths from air pollution. SDG 13 target 13.2.1 on climate action in particular encourages countries to submit Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change towards limiting global warming to 1.5°C. Currently 98 per cent of countries mention transport in their NDCs while 83 per cent include transport measures focusing primarily on public buses clean energy sources and electric mobility. Public transport is considered “low-hanging fruit” for electric vehicle (EV) adoption because it offers the most significant emission reduction potential especially on a per-passenger basis as public transport accounts for 70 per cent of urban passenger journeys in Asia. While strong international consensus has emerged on the importance of prioritizing low carbon transport actionable policy measures are still evolving in many Asia-Pacific countries. Even where policies are identified implementation is challenging for some countries particularly those without the necessary expertise technological know-how or financial capabilities. This Monograph breaks down the components for pursuing accelerated EV adoption in public transport through frameworks policy goals strategies and instruments. It draws substantial input from ESCAP’s Series on E-Mobility in Asia and the Pacific notably Electric Mobility in Public Transport: A Guidebook for Asia-Pacific Countries and three case studies commissioned by ESCAP on China and Thailand.
