This year's World Habitat Day is themed Housing for All: A Better "Urban" Future, a theme that echoes the UN SDGs and New Urban Agenda to Leave No One Behind.
In the current situation created by the COVID-19 pandemic, the right to housing and related services is an important issue to put at the centre of discussions, as these are fundamental issues in how we can respond to the pandemic collectively.This event will serve to reflect on how the pandemic is affecting the right to housing and take stock of how the various actors are defending it despite the current circumstances.
There will be an opportunity to create an open conversation between various communities of practice that converge in the defence and production of the "right to housing" as a "right to life", to move towards a collective debate on how our responses are changing / need to change in the current situation.
