Aligning commitments and expectations to achieve UN SDG’s and the New Urban Agenda. Welcome to the networking event

Category: 
The 55 % of the world’s population that lives in urban environments, as well as the many people who live in totally unacceptable conditions in cities and elsewhere, expect strong commitments from the built environment sector to help implement the New Urban Agenda and meet the Sustainable Development Goals.
Commitments and their accompanying expectations need to be aligned with those of stakeholders, especially civil society and public authorities charged with providing essential services and an overarching framework for urban and regional development.
Essential are cooperation and coordination between all stakeholders, including civil society, public authorities, urban professionals, industry sectors, and financial institutions. The sector seeks to establish joint commitments aimed at establishing a shared vision through the adoption of a common framework for proposing new initiatives, developing the necessary tools and implementing specific actions.
The commitments aim in the first instance to foster collaboration, enhance synergies and reduce the risk of conflict and misunderstanding when working to consolidate and enhance sustainable development.
All are welcome to take part in and contribute to this networking event.
