Imperatives of Building Inclusive Cities

The Decade of Action for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is a call to countries globally to undertake measures and policies to inch closer to achieving the SDGs. With just ten years to go, the work left to realise is massive. However, thanks to widespread IEC activities, countries have finally understood that climate change and global warming cannot be reversed without local action to achieve the SDGs. It is also crucial that cities do not leave anyone behind while working towards achieving these goals. For this, cities will have to become inclusive.

The COVID-19 Pandemic is being considered by many as a lesson for policymakers and world leaders. The transmissibility of the disease has made it immensely clear that without ensuring universal access to basic civic services for all, no one can be considered safe. These primarily include water, sanitation and health services.

To discuss how cities can come together to build inclusive cities to achieve the SDGs, prevent future pandemics, and battle climate change and global warming, All India Institute of Local Self-Government, in collaboration with CityNet, organised the fourth webinar in a series of monthly webinars on ‘Localising SDGs’ on the topic ‘Imperatives of Building Inclusive Cities’ on Tuesday, September 28, 2021, at 11:30 AM (IST). Foundation EMDA Southasia, Renewable Energy Mart, and 3R Waste Foundation are the supporting partners. Read more
