Note on Human Settlements before CSD 13
Three key challenges are raised by AG Habitat: keeping CSD 13 fundamentally dedicated to the integrated implementation of all international targets related to human settlements; address all obstacles and prioritise action not only at some local levels but towards the global frames of development and lead to some real international commitments regarding solutions and follow ups at international and national levels.

The Secretary General’s Report on Human Settlements represents a good first step in addressing the immense challenges of achieving sustainable development in this field. However, we are disappointed that key points in the statement delivered during CSD-12 by the Human Settlements Caucus are not reflected in the implementation agenda proposed by the General Secretary (herein called the “Draft Report”). Today, we reiterate a few of these missing themes and urge the Secretary to include them in his Summary Report on this week’s IPM session.
