One year since the military coup in #Myanmar. Across the country, people are still resisting, in the face of harrowing atrocities. Many are fighting. Others have been forced into indefinite exile. Thinking of all Myanmar friends today.

.@rubbinakm comments that we have struggled to get cities on the climate change agenda. But now that it is on the #COP26 agenda, how can we bring communities into the dialogue?

[IIED @IIED]

Rose Molokoane of FEDUP and @sdinet in South Africa says that city planning isn't inclusive. The #NewUrbanAgenda talks about inclusive development, and that's what they're doing in informal settlements with SDI. #COP26

Keynote speech from mayor of Freetown @yakisawyerr at this #COP26 @CitiesAlliance event. She aims to #TransformFreetown, saying "Do not take the people out of the slum, take the slum out of the people."
