Habitat III Side Events

The significant role of cities for the implementation of Agenda 2030, including the Sustainable Development Goals, has been increasingly acknowledged. The zero draft of the New Urban Agenda emphasizes this development and calls for new networks and coalitions of cities, regions and nations.

Mistra Urban Futures and its partners WWF and Global Utmaning submitted a proposal for a networking event during the Habitat III conference, based on the WWF Earth Hour City Challenge, the knowledge and advice of Global Utmaning concerning leadership for sustainability and the expertise of Mistra Urban Futures, expressed e.g. in the forthcoming book "Rethinking Sustainable Cities".
