Global NCAP provides the following summary of the document: 1. The UN has set a target to halve global road deaths and injuries by 2020 as part of its sustainable development goals, requiring improvements in fatality rates in high, middle, and low income countries. 2. Vehicle safety is a key part of this and the UN recommends policies to implement minimum vehicle safety standards, including for occupant protection, seat belts, air bags, and active safety systems. 3. New Car Assessment Programs (NCAPs) promote safer vehicles by providing consumer information on safety ratings, and encouraging manufacturers to improve safety standards. Global NCAP works to support NCAPs globally and promote minimum safety standards.
