03 October 2022 9:30 - 12:30
hybrid, Palais des Nations Geneva Switzerland

Held simultaneously in room H-207, Palais des Nations, Geneva and the Kursaal Congress Centre, San Marino with online connection  

Co-organized by UNECE and the Geneva Cities Hub
Back-to-back with the 83rd session of the UNECE Committee on Urban Development, Housing and Land Management.

The In Focus: SDG 11 event is a platform for a refreshing dialogue on how cities and their networks as well as relevant organizations and stakeholders address global challenges that are traditionally discussed by States in multilateral fora. The In Focus: SDG 11 aims at better linking intergovernmental debates on issues related to SDG11 with what cities and their networks, and other stakeholders are doing on the ground. The event is organized each year by UNECE since 2018 and the Geneva Cities Hub has partnered with UNECE on this event since 2019.
