SUSTAINABLE CITIES AND COMMUNITIES

More and more people live in cities.
Cities account for 70% of carbon emissions, so many cities are breathing polluted air.
Rapid urbanisation is resulting in many people living in slums with inadequate infrastructure.

ACTIONS FOR 2030

• Ensure access to adequate housing and basic services.
• Improve access to safe, accessible and sustainable transport and improve road safety.
• Reduce negative environmental impacts.
• Provide green spaces and safe public spaces.
• Support urban-rural links.
