Interesting concomitant is that although the blue area looks so much larger, 40% of the world's population live in the red areas - so it's far closer to half and half than it looks

🎉 The @WTO #FisheriesSubsidies Agreement is now in force–a big step to curb subsidies threatening #SustDev.

But the work isn’t over yet. It’s crucial to implement the agreement & conclude additional rules to #StopFundingOverfishing.

Sustainable urban development was already a challenge when the New Urban Agenda was adopted in 2016.

#WUF12 high-level delegates noted even greater difficulties now.

Answers may lie in collaboration and co-creation of projects with local communities, attendees heard.

Verdichten an zentralen Punkten:
= Infrastrukturen nutzen, um Mehrwert für Alle zu schaffen. Ökologisch nachhaltige Dichte.

D.h. auch Wohnhochhäuser gut gemischt, mit öffentlichen Nutzungen wie Kino oder Kita, in den Erdgeschossen Geschäfte oder Dienstleistungen.

Innovativ, integrativ @SustDev. Ökologisch, kulturell. Mutig.

Es wird sehr interessant. Metropole Berlin, Region Brandenburg-Berlin, Region Niedersachsen: Modelle entwickeln.
