Sustainable Development Goals
During the transition from the MDGs to the SDGs, Cities Alliance was part of the successful global advocacy movement to include a stand alone goal for cities (Goal 11) in the 2030 Agenda. The campaign also called for the urban dimension to be anchored as a cross-cutting issue in other goals, such as poverty eradication, gender equality and women’s empowerment, reducing inequality, climate action, and promoting equitable economic growth.
