Habitat Partner University Initiative Global Meeting Report, London 2011 |
|
UN-HABITAT has initiated the Habitat Partner University Initiative in order to respond to the effects of today's rapid urbanization. Universities produce the leaders, managers and planners required for adopting innovative and robust approaches to city development and they have the human capital and knowledge for promoting the solutions needed if cities are to deal with the challenges of the future. The Initiative aims at strengthening the cooperation between UN-HABITAT and institutions of higher education, as well as facilitating exchange and cooperation between universities in developing and developed countries.

Strengthening Climate Change in Urban Education Cities and Climate Change Academy (CCCA) Global Workshop. Bonn, 1-2 June 2011 |
|
As UN-HABITAT's recently launched Global Report on Human Settlements 2011 – Cities and Climate Change, states, rapid urbanization and climate change are two powerful and converging forces that threaten to have unprecedented negative impacts upon quality of life and economic and social stability. Addressing climate change is therefore critical if we aim to build more sustainable and liveable cities. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing the resilience of human settlements and in particular their most vulnerable populations is an imperative for local governments.
