KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 5 (Bernama) -- The 2024 Shanghai Voluntary Local Review to mark the World Cities Day shared practices and experiences of mega and super-sized cities in promoting sustainable development with the world.
Themed “Inclusiveness · Low-carbon · Growth”, the 2024 Shanghai Voluntary Local Review undertakes a comprehensive assessment of eight priority review targets, according to Shanghai Coordination Center of World Cities Day.
The eight targets are Zero Hunger; Gender Equality; Clean Water and Sanitation; Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure; Sustainable Cities and Communities; Climate Action; Life Below Water; as well as Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions.
According to a statement, the report presents key initiatives and exemplary cases of Shanghai's practices in the field of sustainable development from various perspectives.
During the United Nations Sustainable Development Summit on Sept 25, 2015, all 193 member states signed the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which outlined 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) covering the economic, social, and environmental aspects.
In response to the invitation from UN-Habitat, Shanghai initiated its voluntary local review in 2021, in which the Shanghai Voluntary Local Review currently has achieved comprehensive review covering all 17 SDGs.
The local review offers a logical framework for the strategic vision for urban development and the sustainable development goals of Shanghai.
It systematically reviews the measures and progress made in various areas of promoting urban sustainability in Shanghai and consistently introduces local cases of sustainable development.
