| International Women's Day 2013 Message by Dr. Joan Clos, Under-Secretary-General and Executive Director UN-Habitat |
|
|
|
Today, just over half the world’s people live in urban areas and it is predicted that the number of urban dwellers will rise to 70 per cent by 2050. Cities and towns are sources of development if they are well planned and governed but when they are not they can become spaces of insecurity and conflict. The urban poor are more exposed to crime and violence than the rich, and since women make up the majority of the urban poor they are more exposed to risk.

| 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.

| The Secretary-General message on World Habitat Day, 1 October 2012 |
|
|
 |
Half the world's people now live in towns and cities. In little more than a generation, two-thirds of the global population will be urban. As the proportion of humanity living in the urban environment grows, so too does the need to strengthen the urban focus of our efforts to reduce global poverty and promote sustainable development.

| THE NAIROBI DECLARATION: Recommendations from the Youth 21 Building for Change Stakeholder Meeting and Global Youth Leadership Forum on Inclusive Governance March 15-18, Nairobi, Kenya |
|
|
|
The Youth 21 global initiative was co-organized by UN HABITAT and UNDP. It gathered over two-hundred and twenty (220) youth representing youth-led organizations and movements from across the globe, as well as UN Member States, members of parliament, private sector, civil society organizations, researchers and UN Agencies. The aim of Youth 21 is for youth to engage with the United Nations and support them in working towards democratic governance and sustainable development. Youth 21 has prepared the Nairobi Declaration and its recommendations in the hope that UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon, supportive governemnts, civil society will work in partenrship with youth and engage them in governance at all levels, with an emphasis on creating mechanisms, such as the recently announced UN Secretary General's Special Advisor on Youth, to engage youth within the UN system and beyond.
