This podcast explores how the United Nations delivers inclusive social development

Daniela Bas, the Director at the Director of the Division for Inclusive Social Development (DISD) at the United Nations explains what the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) mean for disability-inclusive transport around the world. The discussion explores how sport is important to the UN’s SDGs. Universal Design features heavily in Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities – Daniela explains what universal design is and how, for example, it applies to natural and man-made disasters. The conversation explores the future role of education across the world in supporting universal design.

At the recent World Road Congress, held in Abu Dhabi, the foresight session "Road Transport and Disability" was awarded the best session of the Congress, and was the first ever session in the history of the World Road Congress devoted to disability. Daniela Bas, chaired the session said: "Building accessible roads is a matter of justice and common sense, while investing in the future. Inclusion is not only a legal obligation, it is also an economic and social imperative for which we must work together" and added "Nowadays, transport is the vital link to access education, employment, health care and even social and community commitments".
