Ensuring openness, safety, resilience and environmental sustainability of cities and human settlements is one of the Sustainable Development Goals. Today, half of humanity – 3.5 billion people – lives in cities. Cities account for 70% of energy consumption and 75% of carbon dioxide emissions. Sustainable cities mean cities with opportunities for all, access to basic services, adequate and environmentally friendly energy supply, housing and transport. Smart urban solutions can meet these challenges.
The Forum was organized by the International Telecommunication Union jointly with “Giprosvyaz” and with the support of the Ministry of Communications and Informatization of the Republic of Belarus.
