ESCWA is organizing a side event of the High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development in the framework of the Quality of Life initiative, launched by UN-Habitat. The initiative helps local Governments and policymakers make clear, informed decisions for the well-being of people and the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with support from Saudi Arabia and other member States.
The side event is aimed at emphasizing the importance of policy alignment and the role of cities in advancing progress towards achieving the SDGs and building urban resilience, as well as at showcasing good practices and promoting quality of life.
