Global Urban Lectures
«In April 2014 UN-Habitat launched the Global Urban Lectures - lecture packages focused on subjects related to cities and urbanization. Each package consists of a 15 min video, a synopsis of the topic, a biography of the speaker and links to in depth study. The speakers are associated with UN-Habitat’s work, recruited from universities, think-tanks, governments, NGO’s, and private sector institutions. The series wishes to demonstrate a sound evidence-based analysis of a given problem and issues at stake, identify propositions to address them and provide examples that demonstrate how such propositions actually work, are being tested or have been implemented.(…)» (UN-Habitat)

HABITAT III - 2016
«Habitat
III’ is the Third United Nations Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban
Development. In 2016, the Habitat III conference will be held twenty years
after Habitat II, and forty years after Habitat I. Like its predecessors,
Habitat III will define global urban priorities for the following 20 years. As the
first implementing conference of the post-2015 agenda, Habitat III will
influence how the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are fulfilled, and will
be an opportunity to shape how they are implemented.» [UN-HABITAT]
Post2015 Agenda
«The “Post-2015
Agenda” is the development agenda that will replace the Millennium Development
Goals (MDGs) upon their expiration in 2015. After 2015, efforts to achieve a
world of prosperity, equity, freedom, dignity and peace will continue unabated.
The UN is working with governments, civil society, and other partners to build
on the momentum generated by the MDGs and carry on with an ambitious post-2015
development agenda. The MDGs will be replaced with the Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs), which will shape the Post-2015 Development Agenda.» [UN-HABITAT]
