Road traffic crashes are said to be the leading cause of death for young people aged 15-29.<\/p>\n

To help reverse the trend young leaders from across the world are claiming their space in the global road safety agenda in preparation for a United Nations High-Level Meeting on Road Safety taking place in June 2022.<\/p>\n

Youth for Road Safety (YOURS) and its Global Youth Coalition, with the support of Total Energies Foundation, has launched a new arts campaign entitled: #ClaimingOurSpace<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Using arts and creativity, young artists from six countries will capture the voices of young leaders in road safety and produce six artworks.<\/p>\n

The project will culminate in a youth-led arts exhibition at the United Nations headquarters in NYC.<\/p>\n

Data from the World Health Organization has revealed that of 1.35 million road-related deaths recorded worldwide annually, young people aged 15-29 make up more than 300,000 of the total number.<\/p>\n

\u201cGiving a voice to young people and allowing them to unite around the issue of road safety is key to offering them a future on safe roads and illustrates the “strength of solidarity” that we have inscribed in our values,\u201d said Bruno Courme, TotalEnergies Corporate Foundation\u2019s director.<\/p>\n

The campaign is focused on six countries: Argentina, Brazil, India, Jordan, Nigeria, and South Africa. The result of their artistic work will be exhibited during the upcoming United Nations High-Level Meeting on Road Safety starting on 30 June 2022.<\/p>\n

The #ClaimingOurSpace campaign will run from April to July 2022 and is supported by WHO and the United Nations Secretary-General\u2019s Special Envoy for Road Safety.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
