    PEACE

    IN OUR CITIES
    CAMPAIGN

    SDG16 ACTION PLEDGE


    We have the tools, evidence, and knowledge needed to reduce and prevent violence.
    While we hold the tools, trend analysis indicates that if policies and investments do
    not change, global levels of violence will increase by at least 10% by 2030. Most of this
    increase will be driven by violence outside of conflict zones, much of it in urban areas.
    Cities today constitute half of the world’s population and are expected to absorb
    nearly all new population growth over the coming two decades. Cities hold
    vast potential. The concentration of people offers opportunities for innovation,
    collaboration and growth. This concentration can also facilitate violence, requiring
    localized, evidence-oriented, and community-owned strategies.

    On the International Day of Peace 2019, I pledge to take accelerated actions to


    reduce violence and build peace, to lead global momentum towards reducing
    global levels of violence, and to help shape a city-to-city collaboration framework
    to develop and drive global best practice in support of Sustainable Development
    Goal 16.1 – significantly reduce all forms of violence and related death rates
    everywhere – and the broader SDG16+ agenda, reflecting all goals related to
    peace and security in the 2030 development agenda.
