It All Starts at Home: Local Actions for Sustainable Cities and Communities

Affordable Housing

Striving for affordable housing solutions in urban centers to make safe, adequate housing accessible to all. Local strategies aim to balance housing demands with the need for affordability and sustainability, ensuring fair opportunities for residents.

Managing Living Costs

Addressing the rising costs of living by promoting policies that reduce economic pressures on households. Efforts focus on job creation, wage growth, and local support programs to help communities thrive amid financial challenges.

Climate Action Initiatives

Taking action on climate change with locally-driven programs aimed at reducing emissions and promoting green urban practices. From renewable energy adoption to sustainable city planning, every step taken contributes to a resilient, eco-friendly future.

Access to Basic Services

Expanding access to essential services like clean water, sanitation, healthcare, and education. Through localized solutions, communities are empowered to overcome barriers to essential needs, promoting health and well-being for all.

"At the Forum, we will address crucial challenges, such as housing, land use, urban planning, governance and participation. We will listen to diverse stakeholders and tackle key issues: how to ensure affordable housing for all, transform informal settlements, recover and rebuild, and enhance climate resilience. We need to build strong coalitions for better solutions to challenges posed by the global housing crisis."
