Report of Roundtable on SDG 11 on Sustainable Cities and Communities

Asia-Pacific countries need to accelerate progress against SDG 11 by empowering local governments and community groups to deliver against this goal in an integrated fashion across all SDGs and global sustainability agendas. While it has been estimated that 65% of the total SDG targets need to be delivered by local authorities and actors, this is not matched with requisite decision-making authority required to drive local implementation of SDG11 and all urban related targets.
