About Me
Created under the auspices of UNECE and UN-HABITAT, the Mayors' Action Platform was created to follow-up on the Geneva Declaration of Mayors.
The objectives of the platform are twofold:
- to showcase concrete actions and solutions devised by cities to address the issues covered by the Declaration of Mayors
- to create a safe space for Mayors and their administration to exchange among peers
This is a platform where Mayors can publish their own success stories, read best practices by other municipalities, and get in touch via the integrated chat.
In 2020, the first-ever Forum of Mayors enabled Mayors from the UNECE region to share how they make their cities more resilient, with a focus on Covid-19 and climate change. The Forum culminated in the adoption of the Geneva Declaration of Mayors, under which Mayors undertook to:
- strengthen the resilience of our cities
- take ambitious climate action
- make our cities greener
- accelerate the transition to sustainable energy
- ensure urban transport is sustainable
- ensure housing is affordable healthy and adequate
- make cities more equitable and inclusive
The Geneva Cities Hub created the MAP to support Mayors in their implementation of the Declaration of Mayors.
