<\/div>[vc_column_text css=”” css_animation=”bottom-to-top”]To mark the anniversary of the Montr\u00e9al Declaration on Metropolitan Areas<\/a> (2015), on October 14th, we commemorate the World Metropolitan Day. It is a global campaign that celebrates the diversity of metropolises. It aims to foster cooperation and dialogue among different levels of government, civil society, academia and the private sector to address the common challenges and opportunities of urbanisation. Since 2018, Metropolis and UN-Habitat have been leading this initiative in the framework of Urban October, a month dedicated to promoting a better urban future for all.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”31279″ img_size=”full” css=””]

World Metropolitan Day 2024 – A just transition for a sustainable future<\/h5>\n

City and metropolitan governments hold the key to steering metropolises towards a future where economic prosperity, environmental responsibility and social well-being are mutually reinforcing. This is especially urgent in the Global South, where many communities face the brunt of climate change, as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change warns. The impacts of the climate crisis are not evenly distributed: more often than not, those already in vulnerable situations suffer the most. Those living in poverty and informal settlements, along with young people, women, migrants and historically marginalised groups are most at risk in a context where extreme weather events become more frequent. They also stand to benefit the most from emerging economic opportunities in transitioning to a more sustainable model. Urgent action is therefore needed to safeguard social cohesion and mitigate vulnerabilitiesDon’t miss this inspiring event![\/vc_column_text]
