Empowering Mayors to lead change on road safety, climate change and urban health.

On 19 February 2025, the Global Cities Hub (GCH) had the honour of opening a high-level Mayor’s Panel at the 4th WHO Global Ministerial Road Safety Conference, alongside city leaders from Paris, New York, Marrakech, and Guayaquil. With over 100 ministers from around the world in attendance and UN high-level officials like Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus (WHO Director General), Jean Todt (UN Special Envoy for Road Safety) and Tatiana Molcean (UNECE Executive Secretary), it was remarkable to see an international conference dedicate one of its plenary sessions specifically to cities and mayors—a testament to their central role in shaping global policy.

Upon invitation only
On 21 February 2025, the Global Cities Hub co-organizes with UN-Habitat the workshop “Cities and Human security: Urbanisation and Housing in an unstable world”. The workshop will address the growing human security challenges—including violent conflict, climate change, economic hardship, and persistent poverty—that increasingly impact the success of sustainable and affordable housing policies. A key focus of the discussions will be on underrepresented issues, such as the involvement of organised crime in housing and land-related crimes amid rapid urbanisation, as well as the effects of illicit economies on social cohesion and urban governance.
