The Committee of Permanent Representatives of UN-Habitat (CPR) convenes every two years, in an open-ended manner. The Committee will meet once prior to the UN-Habitat Assembly for preparation of the session and a second time for a high level mid-term review meeting.

Prior to the review of the governance structure of the UN-Habitat and subsequence resolution A/73/239, the CPR met regularly four times a year. The 72nd regular meeting of the CPR was held on 10 April 2019. The CPR was instrumental in the preparations for the first session of the UN-Habitat Assembly and particularly in drafting the rules of procedures of the UN-Habitat Assembly and the Executive Board.
