This event at the World Urban Forum brought together stakeholders that are advancing climate goals and sustainable development through the lens of housing integrated with basic services, at the global, national and local levels.   

The REHOUSE (Resilient, Equitable Housing, Opportunities and Urban Services) and Atlas of Urban Growth initiatives at World Resources Institute are hosting a region-focused convening in Africa to bring together a diverse group of stakeholders across sectors and levels of decision-making for discussions and hands-on exercises on the opportunities to build resilient cities in the face of climate risks and how data can drive action.

This event will explore policy, practice and finance solutions from the perspectives of diverse stakeholders, including governments, local communities, multilaterals, and housing practitioners, to advance access to climate-resilient housing and urban services across the Global South.

Ahead of COP28, WRI Ross Center for Sustainable Cities joined partners to launch a new initiative linking climate action to sustainable development by addressing inequities in access to housing and other core services in urban areas.
