The+development+of+policies+to+promote+sustainable+traffic+and+transport+development

The Republic of the Sudan views this issue with great interest. Sudan, one of the countries of the third world, still has a transportation system that falls behind in the modern sense of transportational systems among many other countries of the region. Sudan believes stronger policies should be enforced in nations much like Sudan and even in developing and first world countries. We believe that, even though some nations are ahead of others in terms of their efficiency in traffic and transportational system, the current model for ideal transportation still needs much improvement and has proved highly unsustainable and quite costly. Therefore Sudan would like to support all means to promote further research and development of sustainable traffic and transportation policies globally. The Canadian Centre for Sustainable Transportation defines sustainable transport as a system that "Allows the basic access needs of individuals and societies to be met safely and in a manner consistent with human and ecosystem health" in a manner that "Is affordable" and "limits emission and waste." Sudan believes this is an ideal definition and is the one we should abide by in our promotion and further research into a sustainable traffic and transport development system.

1. __Requests__ that nations prioritize building transport systems that reach rural areas that have limited acces to natural resources and energy in order to facilitate aspects of rural life 2. __Recommends__ increasing of international conferences to discuss the issue and discuss feasible ways to implement sustainble transport systems in LEDCs and other countries of limited financial capabilities. 3. __Further Recommends__ that all countries to cooperate with EST(Environmentally Sustainable Transport) branch of the OECD and their objectives and seriously consider their new ideas and innovations that are implementable and practical within each country's situation.
