| The Secretary-General message on World Habitat Day, 1 October 2012 |
|
|
 |
Half the world's people now live in towns and cities. In little more than a generation, two-thirds of the global population will be urban. As the proportion of humanity living in the urban environment grows, so too does the need to strengthen the urban focus of our efforts to reduce global poverty and promote sustainable development.

| THE NAIROBI DECLARATION: Recommendations from the Youth 21 Building for Change Stakeholder Meeting and Global Youth Leadership Forum on Inclusive Governance March 15-18, Nairobi, Kenya |
|
|
|
The Youth 21 global initiative was co-organized by UN HABITAT and UNDP. It gathered over two-hundred and twenty (220) youth representing youth-led organizations and movements from across the globe, as well as UN Member States, members of parliament, private sector, civil society organizations, researchers and UN Agencies. The aim of Youth 21 is for youth to engage with the United Nations and support them in working towards democratic governance and sustainable development. Youth 21 has prepared the Nairobi Declaration and its recommendations in the hope that UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon, supportive governemnts, civil society will work in partenrship with youth and engage them in governance at all levels, with an emphasis on creating mechanisms, such as the recently announced UN Secretary General's Special Advisor on Youth, to engage youth within the UN system and beyond.

Rio de Janeiro
My name is Kristoffer Sundøy, and I have been elected by UN-HABITAT’s Youth Advisory Board to address you today on behalf of the youth delegates present at this Forum. We are youth who live in cities. We are full of ideas, creativity, and energy. Yet even as we represent well over half the world’s total population, we are still not full partners in the institutions, processes and decisions that affect our lives. We live in cities in great numbers, yet our voices are rarely given equitable space or accorded the same respect and consideration as those of adults.

| Secretary General's Message |
|
|
|
The theme of World Habitat Day this year, Cities – engines of rural development, was chosen to remind development policy-makers at every level not to think of “urban” and “rural” as separate entities, but rather as parts of an economic and social whole.

| The Secretary-General - Message To The "Africities Summit" |
|
|
|
Yaoundé, Cameroon
It is a great pleasure to send my greetings to everyone who has gathered for this Third Africities Conference. Your presence underscores your recognition of the magnitude and urgency of the urban challenge facing Africa. And the impressive turn-out of mayors, government officials, representatives of the private sector and civil society, as well as a number of development partners, shows you understand that this challenge can be tackled only by collective engagement. I would like to commend the Municipal Development Partnership for its vigorous efforts and leadership in support of local authorities in Africa.
