I couldn't agree more with SG @antonioguterres that the global housing crisis demands equitable financing and cities built to be smart, resilient and safe.
The #NewUrbanAgenda Midterm Review this year is where we push that progress forward.

"As disasters continue to grow in intensity and cost, it is important that we do not forget the human cost as well," – Kamal Kishore at UN HQ, opening an exhibition on the Draft Articles on the Protection of Persons in the Event of Disasters, with @PHMissionNY & @UNOCHA 🌐
It was a pleasure to serve on @UN_PGA LLS Advisory Board and represent @UNDRR to underscore the importance of risk-informed development and building resilience for LDCs, LLDCs and SIDS.
I was pleased to convene the final meeting of the LLS Advisory Board today for the 78th Session.
Appreciate the comprehensive dialogue on how to best support LDCs, LLDCs, and SIDS on their path to sustainable development, including through the High-Level Political Forum and the upcoming Summit of the Future, amongst other events.
Thanks to all the Board members for their valuable contributions throughout the session.
