A joint opening session of the assemblies is being held within the framework of the 13th Session of the UN World Urban Forum (WUF13).
According to Medianews.az, the session moderated by Aditya Kumar, advisor and chief expert on stakeholder engagement at the UN Habitat Program (UN-Habitat), is dedicated to the topic "How can shared priorities be transformed into momentum for collective action?"
The event combines storytelling, high-level dialogue, and interactive participation to uncover common priorities and stimulate initial commitments.
In a period characterized by growing challenges in housing provision, climate pressures, and increasingly deepening inequality, this opening goes beyond the formal ceremony framework and activates participants as a force directly contributing to the final outcomes of the forum.
