Hosted in Nairobi, Kenya, from 17 to 19 February, the regional UrbanShift Forum for Africa will bring together cities and stakeholders from Kenya, Sierra Leone, Rwanda, Morocco, Senegal, South Africa, Nigeria, Madagascar, Mali, Congo and many more countries. Participants will represent national and local governments, finance institutions, civil society organisations, academic institutions, and private sector entities focusing on sustainable urban development.
Convened by UNEP and partners, the Forum will serve as a platform for exchanging best practices, fostering collaboration, networking, and advancing climate ambition, commitments, and international agenda targets specific to the African context. With most of the world's projected urban growth expected to occur in Africa, the Forum will focus on resilience, urban planning, and infrastructure development.
Funded by the Global Environment Facility and led by the UN Environment Programme, UrbanShift is working to transform cities for people and planet through sustainable, integrated, zero-carbon urban development.
