CLGF inputs into key recommendations for Habitat III

10 April 2016

As part of the Global Taskforce of Local and Regional Governments for Post 2015 Development Agenda, CLGF has inputted into the development of key principles that should underpin the Habitat III process, as well as a set of policy recommendations that should act as the “cornerstones” of the New Urban Agenda.

These key recommendations of local and regional governments towards Habitat III set out the values and priorities of local and regional governments in advance of the release of the Zero Draft of New Urban Agenda. The Global Taskforce calls for the New Urban Agenda to recover the spirit of Habitat II, particularly with regard to its commitment to decentralisation and its recognition of local authorities as the “closest partner” in the implementation of the agenda.

It also reiterates its call for a single, universal agenda that links up with other major international agendas, including the SDGs and the Paris Climate Agreement.
