Nairobi,Kenya 10 Jun 09
As we gather today for this high-level segment of the first conference between the ACP, the European Commission, and UN-HABITAT, I want us to look into the future and think hard of the many problems of poverty, the economic crisis and the growing threats of climate change disasters that afflict our cities in this first truly urban century of our human existence.

21 May 09
It is my great pleasure to be with you all today to discuss the critical issue of responding to the food crisis through sustainable development. Some of you may be wondering what the Head of the United Nations agency for cities has to say on the issue of food security. I will show you that cities are fundamental to the food security issue and that without putting them into the equation we will not solve the food security problem.

19 May 09
This exhibition showcases how far applied science has come. The technologies presented here will go a long way in reducing our Climate Footprint.

Statement By Ms. Anna Tibaijuka Under Secretary General & Executive Director at the 3rd C40 Large Cities Climate Summit Plenary Session 1: Climate Change and the Economic Crisis: The Financial Benefits Associated with Greenhouse Gas Reduction.  
Seoul, Republic of Korea 19 May 09
It is an honour and a pleasure for me to address this third meeting of the C40 Large Cities Climate Summit. Given Seoul’s fascinating approach to urban environmental issues, I am delighted that this conference is being held in this dynamic city. Although the Conference will address issues of interest to cities around the world, holding this meeting in Korea – and for the first time in Asia - should provide an excellent opportunity to pay attention to some of the specific issues facing the rapidly growing cities in the region.: Korea provides an interesting case study as it is one of the most highly urbanized countries in the world, 82 out of every 100 Koreans live in a city whilst in 1975 only 50 percent of the Korean population was urban.

Statement by Mrs. Anna Tibaijuka, Under Secretary General and Executive Director of UN-HABITAT at the closing ceremony of the 22nd Session of the Governing Council of UN-HABITAT  
3 Apr 09
This twenty-second session of the Governing Council of UN-HABITAT comes to a close with a better and a deeper understanding of the critical role of affordable housing and sustainable urban development than ever before. This is of the utmost importance to us all as we enter a period of uncertainty over the increasing effects of climate change, and a period of economic downturn that threatens to roll back many of the recent gains in attaining the Millennium Development Goals.
