Next month, governments and urban experts will gather at the United Nations to review progress on several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including number 11 which aims to make cities and human settlements “inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable” by 2030.
Ahead of July’s High-Level Political Forum, Zilient.org will reflect with city officials and resilience practitioners, fresh from the ICLEI World Congress, on the latest trends in urban development, as well as what needs to shift – and how – to meet SDG 11.
To be part of the conversation, join our webinar on cities and the global goals on Thursday June 28 at 1100 EDT /1600 BST/1500 GMT.
Our panel will share their experiences, views and offer insights on the challenges of achieving SDG11 in the United States, Colombia and beyond.
Panel members:
● Aziza Akhmouch, Acting Head for Cities, Urban Policies & Sustainable Development, OECD
● Santiago Uribe Rocha, Chief Resilience Officer, City of Medellín, Colombia
● Laurie Manderino, Associate Director, Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN)
Moderator: Megan Rowling, Zilient.org editor & Thomson Reuters Foundation journalist
Please register for the webinar on Zoom, where you can also submit a question for the panel in advance.
