HFH Reactions to Zero Draft of the New Urban Agenda
Habitat for Humanity International applauds members of the Bureau of the Preparatory Committee, the Habitat III Secretariat, Member States and the engagement and dedication of all Habitat III stakeholders in creating the Zero Draft of the New Urban Agenda. Habitat III is a critical opportunity to reinvigorate global commitment to sustainable development and this draft sets us on the right path. The New Urban Agenda must: 1) emphasize adequate and affordable housing, 2) prioritize security of tenure, 3) promote community-led development, and 4) set specific and accountable measures.
