Did you know? In the next decade, over 70% of the world will call cities home. The United for Smart Sustainable Cities (U4SSC) is a global UN initiative that provides an international platform for information exchange and partnership building to guide cities and communities in achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The goal is to foster sustainable digital transformation, harness digital technologies and encourage global collaboration for smarter cities. The U4SSC achieves this through: - A set of specialized Thematic Groups that dive into the most pressing topics, creating insightful publication that guide cities. - The U4SSC Key Performance Indicator (KPI) project is a driving force behind tangible results, ensuring cities are on track for a smarter, more sustainable future. - And with the Country Hubs, we're turning local efforts into a global movement, fostering collaboration to reshape cities worldwide. The U4SSC is coordinated by ITU, UNECE, UNEP and UN-Habitat, and supported by CBD, ECLAC, FAO, UNDESA, UNDP, UNECA, UNESCO, UNEP-FI, UNFCCC, UNIDO, UNOP, UNU-EGOV, UN-Women, UNWTO and WMO. Join the U4SSC and start building the cities and communities of the future.
