The second session of the United Nations Habitat Assembly was held from 5 to 9 June 2023, at the UN-Habitat Headquarters in Nairobi. The theme of the session was “A sustainable urban future through inclusive and effective multilateralism: achieving the Sustainable Development Goals in times of global crises”
The first session of 2024 of the Executive Board of the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) will be held from 6 to 8 May 2024, at the UN-Habitat Headquarters in Nairobi.
The second open-ended meeting of the Committee of Permanent Representatives to the United Nations Human Settlements Programme took place from 29-31 May and on 2 June 2023, at the UN-Habitat Headquarters in Nairobi.
UN-Habitat’s governance structure is a three-tier structure made up of the UN-Habitat Assembly, the Executive Board and the Committee of Permanent Representatives. The General Assembly of the United Nations in its resolution A/RES/73/239 decided to dissolve the Governing Council of the United Nations Human Settlements Programme and to replace it with a United Nations Habitat Assembly of the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat Assembly). UN-Habitat Assembly is a universal body composed of the 193 member states of the United Nations and convenes every four years at the Headquarters of UN-Habitat in Nairobi. The Executive Board is composed of 36 member states elected by the UN-Habitat Assembly and meets three times a year to increase the oversight by Member States of UN-Habitat operations. The Committee of Permanent Representatives of UN-Habitat (CPR) meets twice every four years in an open-ended manner. The three governing bodies together are intended to strengthen the accountability and transparency of UN-Habitat, and provide an effective oversight mechanism for UN-Habitat to enhance its normative and operational activities.
