DRAFT KEY ICLEI POSITIONS
on the New Urban Agenda (NUA)
Considered to be the basis of ICLEI Inputs to Zero Order Draft
Early 2016
What should NUA Contain? – Advancing SDGs (Goal:11+) and Paris Agreement
The NUA should mobilize and facilitate the transformative potential
of every community and jurisdiction to advance the national and
global goals and commitments under the Sustainable Development
Goals, in particular Goal:11 on sustainable cities and human
settlements, and Paris Agreement in an integrated and synergetic
manner. It should not seek to define a totally new description or
definition and it should be the house of SDG Goal:11 with an aim to
support all 15 other SDGs , once it is rapidly met.
DRAFT KEY ICLEI POSITIONS
on the New Urban Agenda (NUA)
Considered to be the basis of ICLEI Inputs to Zero Order Draft
Early 2016
NUA at the National Level – Globalizing and advancing Local Agenda 21
The thing that is „New“ in the NUA is not the concept of urbanization, which has a
history of thousands of years globally, but the fact that we are living in an Urban
World for the first time. The NUA should be a commitment of national governments
and the UN system to focus sustainable urbanization for the first time through a
universal , holistic and integrated approach. And more importantly, the NUA should
be developed and implemented through participatory stakeholder mechanisms
and enable vertical integration of contributions of all levels of governments which
can be reached by globalization and advancement of the spirit, culture and practice
of local sustainability planning as per the practice of the successful implmentation
of Chapter 28 of Agenda 21.
DRAFT KEY ICLEI POSITIONS
on the New Urban Agenda (NUA)
Considered to be the basis of ICLEI Inputs to Zero Order Draft
Early 2016
NUA at the Global Level – Engaging with governmental stakeholders
The NUA should be considered within the scope of the
evolving concept of global governance, where local and
subnational governments are considered as key actors of
global efforts on sustainability as governmental
stakeholders. The NUA should provide guidance and clarity
on concrete implementation of para.42 of the Rio+42
Outcome Document, taking into account the progress
achieved in the design of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable
Development and strengtening the practice and efforts of
the constituency of local and subnational governments.
DRAFT KEY ICLEI POSITIONS
on the New Urban Agenda (NUA)
Considered to be the basis of ICLEI Inputs to Zero Order Draft
Early 2016
Key ICLEI Proposal for NUA – A UN Decade for Sustainable Urbanization
ICLEI urges national governments to announce at
HABITATIII a UN Decade of Sustainable Urbanization in
order to implement all the earlier mentioned
perspectives. This process should be developed and
implemented through innovative and collaborative
efforts of the UN System – National Governments – Local
and Subnational Governments and Stakeholders,
supported by a Global Scientific Panel on Sustainable
Urbanization and appropriate resourcing, transparency
mechanisms.

Agreement with the zero draft policy unit 9 key messages in
that:
1. Safe, affordable, accessible and sustainable urban basic services for all is an
essential precondition to enable SDGs. Access to transport enables access to
jobs, social opportunities, health and education to everyone.
2. Global, national, regional and local actions are required for the transition
towards a low-carbon development pathway for urban energy and transport
systems that is in line with the Paris Agreement.
3. Conservation and efficient use of resources is the most cost-effective climate
change mitigation action. Compact and diverse urban development, multimodal transport systems, renewable electricity and fuels are some of the key
options.
4. Resilience and adaptation is an essential consideration when developing urban
services including transport.
5. As Smart City concepts and new infrastructure technologies evolve and become
increasingly connected their co-evolution needs to be provided for the
optimisation of overall benefits of innovative urban infrastructure systems.”
6. Financing of urban services such as transport infrastructure should include
new concepts of cost recovery, Public Private Partnerships green fiscal
measures etc.
7. Strengthening policy and institutional frameworks that provide for the above is
vital to deliver on equitable access to urban services for everyone.
