We are delighted to share that Effenberger Niklas, representing our project partner Fraunhofer, successfully participated in the World Urban Forum 12 (WUF12), held in Cairo, Egypt, from November 4 to 8, 2024. WUF12 focused on localizing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), emphasizing the importance of local actions and initiatives to address global challenges such as:
- Unaffordable housing
- Rising living costs
- Climate change
- Lack of basic services
- Ongoing conflicts
The forum provided a platform for global thinkers, practitioners, and decision-makers to share insights and solutions on crucial themes of global importance. Through high-profile dialogues and active audience engagement, WUF12 aimed to shape the future of urban development and the implementation of the New Urban Agenda.
Our participation in WUF12 underscores our commitment to the URBREATH initiative. The valuable insights gained from these discussions will be integrated into our ongoing URBREATH activities to address urban air quality challenges and improve the well-being of communities worldwide.
