5 THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS

6 From MDGs to SDGs Agenda 2030 In September 2015, the world moved from MDGs SDGs PEOPLE PLANET PROSPERITY PEACE PARTNERSHIP The Agenda 2030 clearly defines the world we want applying to all nations and leaving no one behind (LNOB)

7 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development LNOB principle as a core component of the SDGs Inequalities need to be highlighted and tackled as central to the Agenda Important to identify those at risk of being left behind by global development and explore pathways to prioritize their progress. Identify key markers of social exclusion

8 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development SDGs offer a supremely ambitious and transformational vision for our common future till Agenda 5 Main Areas 17 Goals 169 Targets 240 Indicators People Prosperity Planet Peace Partnership

9 Each goal is important in itself And they are all connected

10 Cities are at the centre of Sustainable Development Urban Today: Are home to 56% of human settlements Consume 75% of the earth s natural resources Produce 60% of global GHG emissions Produce 50% of global waste Produce 80% of Global GDP 70% of world population will be living in cities by 2050

11 Cities and Sustainable Development Goal 11, the Stand-alone goal on cities and human settlements affirms their importance for attainment of sustainable development Make cities and Human Settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable Recognition that cities are a string that connects all other goals Success in achieving the targets under SDG 11 sets stage for achieving targets in many other SDG goals. Acknowledges importance of implementation at local levels and the role of local governments

12 SDG 11 and its Role in City Planning Cities require monitoring systems to: support urban visioning and long-term plans; track progress for informed policy and sustainable development. Outcome-oriented Process-Oriented 11.1: Housing and Slums 11.a: Urban-rural linkages 11.2: Sustainable transport 11.b: Risk reduction 11.3: Participatory planning 11.c: Sustainable buildings 11.4: Cultural heritage 11.5: Disaster Reduction 11.6: Air Quality and Waste Management 11.7: Public spaces

13 SDG 11 and its Role in City Planning Target 11.2: Sustainable transport Achieving this target will influence health indicators, access (to services), climate change, gender and other SDG targets

14 SDG Indicators with Urban Component 240 Indicators are part of the Global Monitoring Framework adopted by the Statistical Commission Around one third of them can be measured at the local level Direct connection to urban policies and clear impact on cities and human settlements Around 80 indicators have an urban component Indicator Proportion of total adult population with secure tenure rights to land, with legally recognized documentation and who perceive their rights to land as secure, by sex and by type of tenure

15 THE NEW URBAN AGENDA

16 The New Urban Agenda Adopted in October 2016 in Quito, Ecuador Focuses on interventions required to ensure that cities and human settlements are planned, developed and managed in sustainable ways in supporting the implementation of the 2030 Agenda First internationally agreed document detailing implementation of the urban dimension of the SDGs

17 The New Urban Agenda Extension of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (complements SDGs processes) Builds on SDG 11, but addresses a wider range of urbanization and human settlements issues Enables implementation of SDG11 in a more expansive and integrated way by addressing essential strategic spatial and governance frameworks National urban policies, legislation, spatial planning and local finance frameworks. Provides spatial framework for the delivery of SDGs within urban areas by focusing on local level implementation. Places emphasis on the need to develop capacity of local authorities and other local actors for NUA and SDG implementation at the urban local level.

18 The New Urban Agenda The 5 pillars of the New Urban Agenda 1. National Urban Policies (NUPs) 2. Rules and Regulations 3. Urban Planning and Design 4. Financing Urbanization 5. Local Implementation

19 Connecting SDGs and the NUA There is a strong connection between the NUA and the SDGs indicators 11.a National Urban Policy 11.b Disaster risk reduction 11.3 Land consumption 11.7 Open space City Product per Capita Growth Rate 40% 1. National Urban Policies 2. Urban Legislation and Governance Systems 3. Territorial Planning and Urban Design 4. Municipal Finance

25 In conclusion. Cities are where the battle for sustainable development will be won or lost.

26 In conclusion... SDG 11 adoption is a clear acknowledgment of the need to pay attention to challenges faced by cities It is impossible for countries, especially LDCs to deal with growth and poverty challenges without proper management of their urbanization patterns The 2 agendas will play a key role in ensuring SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT in the world and in particular in AP countries.

27 In conclusion All partners have a role Let us identify, connect and play our roles Governments Private sector Civil society People like us
