Organizational Setting

UN-Habitat, the United Nations Human Settlements Programme, is mandated by the UN General Assembly to promote socially and environmentally sustainable towns and cities. It is the focal point for all urbanization and human settlement matters within the UN system.

Background and Justification
Urban areas were the epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic with an estimated 90 percent of all reported infections. The Arab region was additionally hit hard by the socio-economic consequences of the outbreak. The impact of COVID-19 further exacerbated existing vulnerabilities in the region including gender, urban and economic inequalities.

The United Nations Secretary-General policy brief on the impact of COVID-19 on the Arab Region, produced in 2020, stated that the consequences of the pandemic are likely to be long-lasting. The report expected the region’s economy to contract by 5.7 percent, and the economies of some conflict countries were projected to shrink by as much as 13 percent, amounting to an overall loss of US$ 152 billion. These economic setbacks have a direct impact on the region’s path towards achieving sustainable urbanization and advancing the issues of urban health. Especially when taking into consideration the pressing urban health and climate induced issues the region was facing prior to the pandemic.

Therefore, the COVID-19 shock calls for a stronger focus and increased investments in urban health and climate change to increase the resilience of cities. Furthermore, the response to the COVID- 19 crisis can also be used to address some of the long-standing structural weaknesses in the region, notably to build back better in line with the 2030 Agenda for sustainable development through stronger support to local authorities.

WHO’s Healthy Cities Programme is a well-established initiative which has been running for the last 30 years. After recent developments, where our urban world was faced with the danger of pandemics and the effect of natural disasters on urban communities, it has become more relevant than ever as an important mechanism to address the public health challenges of the 21st century. These recent developments provide a timely opportunity to integrate, expand and compliment the green urban indicators to the healthy cities initiative and formulate green based indicators that help create implementable initiatives to mitigate the climate change impacts that are harmful to public health in addition to creating enabling environments for promoting health and wellbeing.

WHO and UN-Habitat have a global MoU emphasizing their commitment to promote health and wellbeing in urban settings. At the regional level, WHO EMRO and UN-Habitat ROAS have agreed to expand and scale-up the Healthy Cities Programme by developing a wider set of green urban indicators aligned to WHO and UN-Habitat frameworks to include within the Healthy Cities Programme related indicators and domains to be used for co-awarding to cities in the region who fulfill the criteria.
