This #WorldHabitatDay, @UN Secretary-General @antonioguterres reminds us, investing in adequate housing and transforming informal settlements can help reduce poverty, tackle inequality, strengthen climate resilience and foster peaceful, inclusive societies.

I couldn't agree more with SG @antonioguterres that the global housing crisis demands equitable financing and cities built to be smart, resilient and safe.

The #NewUrbanAgenda Midterm Review this year is where we push that progress forward.

Earth is becoming hotter and more dangerous for everyone, everywhere.

We must rise to the challenge of rising temperatures.
