SDG 11 aims to make cities inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable.
Cities occupy just 3 percent of the Earth's land but account for 60-80 percent of energy consumption and 75 percent of carbon emissions.
Many cities are also more vulnerable to climate change and natural disasters due to their high concentration of people and location, so building urban resilience is crucial to avoid human, social, and economic losses.
We must campaign for more sustainable, people-oriented cities by eliminating cars from city centers and promoting public green spaces.
