Inputting a local and regional perspective into Habitat III

10 February 2016

As a member of the Global Taskforce of Local and Regional Governments for Post-2015 Agenda (GTF) and Habitat III, CLGF participated in UN Habitat’s PrepCom II in Nairobi, Kenya on14-16 April to input the local and regional governments perspective into the third UN Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development (Habitat III) that will take place in October 2016.

At GTF’s preparatory meeting, the group discussed some of the priorities that local and regional governments want to see address in the Habitat III agenda such as equality and accountability, good governance, engaging with partners and participatory decision making.  CLGF Deputy Secretary-General Lucy Slack attended the meeting and facilitated a session on financing urbanisation and its implications for Habitat III and the ways in which it will help implement the post-2015 agenda at the local level.
