This year’s World Habitat Day is devoted to addressing multiple crises that affect urban areas — including the climate crisis — and highlighting effective responses. Learn how cities around the world are addressing climate change impacts here.

Climate change is causing more frequent, intense and costly disasters, severely impacting nature and people. Investments in disaster risk reduction are key, but remain too low in national budgets and international assistance. This year’s International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction calls for a decisive shift: fund resilience now to avoid paying for disasters later.

The food we eat, and the way it is produced, affects our health and the environment. World Food Day calls for global collaboration across governments, organizations, sectors, and communities to transform agrifood systems and ensure everyone has access to a healthy diet, living in harmony with the planet.
