This year, the United Nations has selected the theme Building Sustainable and Resilient Cities; because cities need support to become resilient and develop their capacity to absorb the impact of hazards, protect and preserve human life and limit damage to and destruction of public and private assets while continuing to provide infrastructure and services after a crisis.
ICOSCAT-CIVTED Coalition is aligned with the UN’s goals and supports UN-Habitat programs and actions.
