Watch today the Sustainable Urban Development in the 21st Century event around the UN
Our event "Sustainable #Urban Development in the 21st Century" is live streamed at the http://worldurbancampaign.org/sustainable-ur …
This September, the international community celebrates the adoption of the global 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda and its Sustainable Development Goals, including SDG11 to “Make Cities and Human Settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable.” In parallel, the urban development community is stepping up the preparations for the United Nations Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development Habitat III, where the New Urban Agenda will be adopted in October 2016.
In this pivotal moment of unprecedented opportunity for social justice, poverty eradication and sustainable development, we invite you to engage in a multi-stakeholder reflection on the key drivers and actions for a transformation that will empower, enable and operationalize our collective commitment to sustainable urban development in the 21s century. Urban development, with its power to trigger transformative change, can and must be at the forefront line of human development. Cities are home to half of the world’s people and three quarters of its economic output, and these figures will rise dramatically within 2050. We must therefore align goals, plans, finance, partnerships, governance models and monitoring and review systems with the scale of our ambition.
The Communitas Coalition Secretariat and its core partners - ICLEI, nrg4SD, Tellus Institute and UN-Habitat - are convening this high-level multi-stakeholder gathering of the Urban SDG Campaign and the World Urban Campaign, in collaboration with the Ford Foundation, the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) of Germany, the Global Task Force of Local and Regional Governments, Cities Alliance and the UN-Sustainable Development Solutions Network.
Sustainable Urban Development in the 21st Century
A Multi-Stakeholder Approach to Making the Transformation Happen
8:30-13:15, 28 September 2015 | East River Room, Ford Foundation, New York Closed event - Working language English
Join our discussions to examine the fundamental transformation required for sustainable urban development to happen, as well as the critical multi-stakeholder engagement in the preparatory process towards Habitat III: • What will be we doing differently within the next 20 years if we are serious about encouraging and empowering sustainable urban development at the city-region scale? • How will we align goals, plans, finance, partnerships, governance models and monitoring and review systems with the scale of our ambition? • What will be the key solutions and drivers for policy coherence? What tools we need for implementation? • What are the distinct yet complementary roles of different stakeholders in the implementation of this agenda? Help us leave a testimony of the multi-stakeholder nature of this agenda. We will have a camera at your service during the event and are excited about capturing the richness of experiences in short video statements (maximum 2 minutes). Please come prepared and seize this opportunity to record your views on what will it take for this transformation to occur!
