- Next week the UN Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development
—Habitat III—will reinvigorate international commitment to sustainable urbanization.
- 54 percent of the global population lives in urban areas. Cities can be the drivers of sustainable development, but many are growing so fast they can’t keep up with citizens’ demands for services.
- The World Bank Group delegation will lead and participate in a number of sessions at Habitat III. GFDRR will present a report about the human and financial cost of disasters and climate change.
