Convened by UN-Habitat, the Forum is a high level, open and inclusive
platform for addressing the challenges of sustainable urbanisation" - UN Habitat

HARNESS the power of the ICLEI Network!" Governments need to give (the sense of) direction, as Business leaders we don't make the wind, we sail the boats. So policy should set the winds in the right directions if you want the boat going fast to the right harbor."Philippe Joubert Senior Advisor, World Business Council
