UN Secretary-General Message and Global Parliament of MayorsExtract
The below message is taken from the UN Conference on Housing & Sustainable Urban Development: Habitat III
The New Urban Agenda that you will adopt here reflects the broad participation of Governments and all urban actors It will set global standards for sustainable urban development and help us to rethink how we build, manage and live in cities The United Nations Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development…culmination of an intense process the international community has defined a universal vision for sustainable development Some Member States have built a substantial framework of commitments and action plans Together they support one common goal – the successful implementation of 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
The 2030 Agenda is a comprehensive, inclusive, integrated and transformative blueprint for peace, prosperity, dignity and opportunity for all people on a healthy planet. Achieving its 17 Sustainable Development Goals will… make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable
That is the focus of SDG 11.
More than half of the world population already lives in cities and human settlements Urban areas are expanding rapidly...frequently unplanned. ¼...urban dwellers live in slums…more poor and vulnerable people live in precarious conditions lack access to basic services and adequate living space Many are isolated from opportunities for decent work and are vulnerable to crime, forced evictions and homelessness. The pollution that cities produce products they consume adverse consequences for the environment energy use is a major contributor to climate change So transforming our world for the better means transforming our towns and cities
That means better urban governance, planning and design. It means more investment in adequate and affordable housing, quality infrastructure and basic services And it means engaging women and girls in making towns and cities safer and more productive for all.
All…pledge to leave no one behind. Cities and towns…role to play in ending poverty and building inclusive societies promoting participation by all Poverty is not simply measured by inadequate income restricted access to health, education and other essential services….sometimes…denial or abuse of fundamental human rights. Poverty is both a cause and consequence of marginalization and social exclusion To fulfil 2030 Agenda, address the humiliation and exclusion of people living in poverty and empower their inclusion in building a better future
In rethinking our cities, we must be guided by the principle of shared prosperity and inclusivity Cities are remarkable engines of growth, centres of diversity and hubs of
Jagun: H3 for SEQ + 5 Roundtable Series - Synthesis Paper
creativity potential to transform our world for the better The New Urban Agenda is an action-oriented document. Its success will depend on the collaboration of all countries and all stakeholders. We need a global partnership for sustainable development, encompassing national, regional and local authorities acting in concert with development partners, businesses, investors and communities
Habitat III is laying a firm foundation let’s build on it advance sustainable development agenda for the benefit of all mankind Video animation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQQxskvR9TE&feature=youtu.be
Other consequences - Majority of population & economy & greenhouse gas are in towns and cities, so major players in world affairs - so what if mayors rule the world? A new Global Parliament of Mayors has canvassed many community impact policies and practices.
But Government systems are so slow, and in some countries people power leads the way out of sticky issues However, fiduciary duty of care mean that we elect governments to care for the greater good through public infrastructure that achieves multiple benefits for the community need and environmental stewardships required for a healthy existence. So there is an expectation that shared decision making and shared governance would provide a greater positive outcome
H3 empowers all levels of government and civil society, unlike other mechanisms within the UN system.
So what's happened since 2017?
Life is never a gentle trajectory, especially in Queensland Since our last Habitat 3 workshops, SEQ has experienced wet seasons, cyclones, drought, bushfires in 2019, COVID in 2020, and its consequent economic disruption, so many of our plans and intentions were revised due to these circumstances. But were they foreseeable anyway? Did we not plan for such contingencies that exponentially built upon each other?
Not only have our healthy ecosystems suffered but all of our people have been impacted adversely in one way or another Even our economic system that relies on certainty in our fundamental attributes, has been battered about in ways that show less resilience than expected Then we come to cultural impacts, where Hugh Mckay thinks our humanity and neighbours are regenerating with a wave of kindness, but in some cases we have more homeless people than ever being recorded and seeking help Our basic human rights are under threat.
Our right to shelter is a rock upon which other quality of life aspects depend But SEQ has experienced cumulative development beyond 2% overall annual growth since 1976 In this time planning embraced clean air, clean water, clean beaches, clean productive soils for safe food and fibre, through LA21, local government natural resource management, and regional planning processes across 19 shires (now 10 regional councils) SEQ Regional plans sought to strengthen connectivity for resilient natural and economic ecosystems to protect

UN Grandmother ’s Declaration (2013)
Women of the World Call for Urgent Action on Climate Change and Sustainability Solutions
We are gathering from diverse cultures and backgrounds
We are gathering from diverse nationalities, faiths, families and professions
We are gathering in defence of our children, grandchildren, and the generations beyond
We are gathering in defence of the animals, plants and natural systems that are under siege
We are gathering and uniting in solidarity to grow the global women’s movement for climate action and sustainable solutions
We are gathering to put the world on notice that women will take action at all levels to avert the trajectory of a 4 degrees C (7.2 degrees F) rise in global temperatures.
We are gathering to ensure that the sovereignty of communities to design and determine their own destinies into a thriving future is respected
We are gathering to take action and chart a new course
The science is clear. There is no more debate. The time for action is NOW.
We will answer humanity’s increased vulnerability with our increased commitment
We know that while women are among the most negatively impacted by climate disruption, we are also key to creating climate solutions
We stand together to accelerate a Global Women’s Climate Action Movement
We, the undersigned, call on ourselves, our communities, and our governments to:
Cancel plans for future carbon developments and deforestation and bring atmospheric CO2 concentrations back below 350 ppm;
Divest from dangerous and dirty fossil fuel developments – coal fired power plants, oil shale fracking, deep-water oil drilling and Tar Sands and rapidly phase out fossil fuel subsidies; Put a price on carbon and implement carbon-fees and Financial Transaction Taxes;
Call for urgent action prior to 2020, in order to accelerate the phase-out of greenhouse gas pollution and to close the gap between the science and national pledges; action is needed at all levels, from the grassroots to the United Nations;
Negotiate and ratify a binding, international climate treaty of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to reduce carbon emissions;
Prioritize adaptation funding to build community resilience for those most affected by climate change in existing climate funds under the UNFCCC;
Increase available funding for adaptation and ensure that community-based groups, including women’s groups, have direct access to those adaptation funds;
Invest in an energy revolution with massive and swift expansion of conservation, energy efficiency, and safe energy by
● implementing radically increased efficiency standards and
● generating 100% of all new electricity from renewables
● incentivizing conservation and reduction of consumption, especially in the Global North;
Jagun: H3 for SEQ + 5 Roundtable Series - Synthesis Paper
Jagun: H3 for SEQ + 5 Roundtable Series - Synthesis Paper
Recognize that the transition to renewable energy does not justify or require a massive increase in mega hydro dams, biofuels and major monoculture biomass plantations that cause displacement, food insecurity, human rights abuses and deforestation;
Prioritize natural forest protection and increase funding for natural reforestation;
Reject Greenhouse Gas emissions reductions schemes that come from high-risk technologies which create irreversible damage to human and planetary health including tar sands, shale gas, nuclear energy, and geo-engineering;
Embrace and implement common but differentiated responsibilities to solve the climate crisis between the global North and global South;
Implement new economic indicators and structures that encourage sustainability, Buen Vivir (living well), and abandon models for limitless economic growth;
Recognize that the planet’s freshwater heritage is under threat and that abuse, over-extraction and displacement of water is a major cause of climate chaos Essential to the recovery of climate stability is a strong plan to conserve, protect and restore the world’s watersheds and rebuild the health of aquatic ecosystems;
Take action to protect one of our essential life support systems – the world’s wild oceans – as a start, protect 20% of the world’s oceans by 2020 and 40% by 2040 in marine preserves and sanctuaries;
Fulfil existing international agreements on women’s equality and climate change by
● ensuring implementation of gender-responsive climate change policy and programs
● ensuring all climate financial mechanisms embrace the internationally agreed principles on gender equality, non-discrimination, human rights and women’s empowerment
● recognizing that gender-sensitive climate policy benefits men, women, children and the planet;
Respect and learn from the Traditional Ecological Knowledge, wisdom and experience of the world’s Indigenous Peoples;
Respect and implement the Rights of Women, the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, the Rights of Nature and the Rights of Future Generations;
Take individual action on a daily basis to avert climate chaos and to implement solutions at all levels.
This is the clarion call to the women and men of the world
Please join us by sharing this Declaration and by taking urgent action for climate change and sustainability solutions
This Declaration ratified by Delegates International Women’s Earth and Climate Summit September 20-23, 2013
