regarding the Quito Conference here.
III - Registration for the Conference
Registration for Quito has been opened here. Please remember that all
participants need to register online to receive a badge at the venue. Please also note that
the Government of Ecuador has opened an online platform for travel information here
for accommodation arrangements.
IV - Quito Implementation Plan
The Quito Implementation Plan refers to specific commitments by various
partners intended to contribute to and reinforce the implementation of the outcomes of
the Habitat III Conference and the New Urban Agenda. The Secretariat welcomes
concrete actions, measurable and achievable, focused on implementation as your
voluntary commitments.
The term ‘commitment’ implies emphasis to the implementation and outcomes of
one or multi-stakeholders initiatives to promote sustainable urban development rather
than the common activity of the partners. Please see this link with the Beta version, and
disseminate among partners: http://quitoimplementationplan.habitat3.org
