He launched the UN-JCDecaux Global Campaign for Road Safety, featuring celebrities like cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, to promote awareness and safer road practices. The campaign supports the Declaration of Marrakesh's goal to halve road fatalities by 2030, urging collective action and government prioritization of road safety.
