Conference report on the international symposium on 31 May 2016 in Berlin in preparation for the 3rd UN World Summit on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development (Habitat III).

The summit, which will take place in Quito, Ecuador, from 17 to 20 October 2016, is intended to concretise the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals for the urban sector. The challenges posed by climate change play a special role here. Cities emit around 75% of greenhouse gases and consume two thirds of the world's energy. The aim of the Habitat Conference is to develop a new model for sustainable urban development, the "New Urban Agenda". At a symposium, Misereor asked how the rights of poor people can be taken into account and displacement prevented within this framework of necessary climate change adaptation, climate protection and strengthening resilience. The urban poor are severely affected by the consequences of climate change and the impact of investments in climate change mitigation and adaptation. Their settlements are often located in danger zones, on riverbanks, by the sea, on roads, on steep slopes, in flood plains or under power pylons.
