Rio+20 provides a platform for UN-Habitat to convey the very urban dimension of the future we want – to emphasize the work for sustainable cities, with job opportunities, gender equality and adequate basic services for poorest inhabitants. The agency will launch its global “I’m a City Changer” drive to show how small steps anyone can take go a long way towards improving our cities and the air we breathe, and reducing their their environmental footprints which look like giant stains on our blue planet when photographed from space. The agency will also host special seminars on urban planning, climate change, disasters and their impacts on cities, and how cities can do more to alleviate trouble when it does hit. This brochure provides a snapshot of all the events organised by UN-Habitat and its partners that will take place between 15 to 21 June 2012.
