It is my great pleasure to be with you all today to discuss the critical issue of responding to the food crisis through sustainable development. Some of you may be wondering what the Head of the United Nations agency for cities has to say on the issue of food security. I will show you that cities are fundamental to the food security issue and that without putting them into the equation we will not solve the food security problem.

Statement By Ms. Anna Tibaijuka Under Secretary General & Executive Director at the 3rd C40 Large Cities Climate Summit Plenary Session 1: Climate Change and the Economic Crisis: The Financial Benefits Associated with Greenhouse Gas Reduction.

	Seoul, Republic of Korea It is an honour and a pleasure for me to address this third meeting of the C40 Large Cities Climate Summit. Given Seoul’s fascinating approach to urban environmental issues, I am delighted that this conference is being held in this dynamic city. Although the Conference will address issues of interest to cities around the world, holding this meeting in Korea – and for the first time in Asia - should provide an excellent opportunity to pay attention to some of the specific issues facing the rapidly growing cities in the region.: Korea provides an interesting case study as it is one of the most highly urbanized countries in the world, 82 out of every 100 Koreans live in a city whilst in 1975 only 50 percent of the Korean population was urban.
