The first session of the UN-Habitat Assembly
The first session of the UN-Habitat Assembly took place from 27 – 31 May 2019, at the headquarters of UN-Habitat in Nairobi. During the first session, the Assembly adopted its rules of procedure and endorsed the rules of procedure of the Executive Board. Five resolutions were adopted, covering a range of topics, including on: safer cities; capacity building for implementing the New Urban Agenda; achieving gender equality through UN-Habitat’s work to support inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable cities and human settlements; enhancing urban rural linkages for sustainable urbanization, and on UN-Habitat’s Strategic Plan 2020-2023. In addition, the Assembly also adopted a decision on transitional arrangements towards the new governance structure of UN-Habitat. The Assembly concluded its five days of discussions with a Ministerial Declaration recognizing that the unprecedented rate of urbanization constitutes both a challenge and an opportunity.
