c. UNFCCC
d. None of the above

ANSWER: Habitat III
 
  • The New Urban Agenda will be the outcome document agreed upon at the Habitat III conference in October 2016.
  • In turn, it will guide the efforts around urbanization of a wide range of actors — nation states, city and regional leaders, international development funders, United Nations programmes and civil society — for the next 20 years.
  • Inevitably, this agenda will also lay the groundwork for policies and approaches that will extend, and impact, far into the future.
  • The United Nations’ current line of thought and action on global urbanization is based on and explained in the Habitat Agenda: Istanbul Declaration on Human Settlements, the outcome document agreed upon in 1996 at the Habitat II conference.
  • The twin goals of the Habitat Agenda are ‘adequate shelter for all’ and ‘the development of sustainable human settlements in an urbanizing world’.
