The resumed session of the UN-Habitat Assembly (#UNHA2.2) opened with a strong call for urgent and coordinated action to address the global housing crisis. Leaders emphasized the need for adequate housing, secure land tenure, and access to basic services. A High-Level Dialogue on Housing helped shape the upcoming Strategic Plan 2026–2029, which prioritizes slum upgrading, climate resilience, and inclusive development. UN-Habitat also renewed its Greener Cities Partnership with UNEP and outlined key 2025 climate milestones. Member States reviewed progress on the New Urban Agenda and stressed stronger support for rapidly urbanizing cities. The Assembly will close with elections and decisions on the way forward.
