UN-HABITAT


UN-Habitat launched the 2024 edition of its World Cities Report at the World Urban Forum (WUF12), focusing on the urgent intersection of climate action and rapid urbanization. This biennial publication serves as a global reference on sustainable urban knowledge, revealing critical findings.

With a vast funding gap of $4.5-5.4 trillion needed annually for resilient infrastructure, the report also highlights the risks of “green gentrification” that can displace vulnerable communities. It emphasizes the importance of community-led strategies to guide cities toward sustainable futures.
