Address to the Second Committee by Dr. Joan Clos Under-Secretary-General and Executive Director UN-Habitat on the 67th Session of the General Assembly of the United Nations. NewYork, 1st November 2012  

The preparatory process for Habitat III will place significant demands on Member States, UN-Habitat, and the UN system as a whole. As you may know already, in late August this year, the Secretary-General designated me as the Secretary-General for Habitat III. I am confident that I can count on the support of all Member States and UN agencies in this exciting but demanding journey towards Habitat III.

Keynote Address on Sustainable urban development priorities and strategies by Dr. Joan Clos Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations and Executive Director of UN-HABITAT at the 2011 Gwangju Summit of the Urban Environmental Accords  
Gwangju, South Korea
It is a pleasure and a privilege for me to be with you today to address the Gwangju Summit of the Urban Environmental Accords. I am happy to be in Korea this week, a country that has taken a lead in “walking the talk” on sustainable urbanization and climate change issues, combining efforts of local government, the private sector and academia. This great country harbours many shining examples of sustainable, inclusive, green and welcoming cities. If all cities were to follow in the footsteps of Korean Mayors, there would perhaps not be so many worries about the feasibility of reaching significant cuts in greenhouse gas emissions.

Congratulatory Remarks by Dr. Joan Clos Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations and Executive Director of UN-HABITAT at the 2011 U-City World Forum on 13 October 2011  

The Forum’s vision - defining the concept of the city of the future, which is capable of enhancing the quality of life of the world’s urban population and contributing to sustainable development, is one of the main challenges that all countries face today. I therefore would like to congratulate you for taking up this important challenge. UN-HABITAT, the UN agency tasked to deal with urbanisation issues, can certainly make valuable contributions and stands ready to work with you.
