The twelfth session of the World Urban Forum (WUF12), convened by UN-Habitat, will take place in Cairo, Egypt, from 4 to 8 November 2024, returning to the African continent after more than 20 years after its inception in Nairobi, Kenya, in 2002. Under the theme “It all starts at home: Local actions for sustainable cities and communities,” WUF12 will focus on localizing the Sustainable Development Goals and on the local actions and initiatives required to curb current global challenges.
