World Vision at the World Urban Forum 12

At the World Urban Forum 12, World Vision is proud to position itself as a thought leader and a key partner in programming and policy/advocacy opportunities. Our commitment to addressing the rights and needs of children and youth in both fragile and stable urban settings is unwavering. We are dedicated to engaging with international platforms focused on urban issues, ensuring our voice and expertise contribute to meaningful change.

Addressing Climate Change in Urban Settings

While cities are major contributors to climate change, they also play a critical role in developing solutions to the climate crisis. Developing strong multi-stakeholder partnerships and undertaking urban resilience activities can make cities inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable. By recognizing their catalytic role in climate change mitigation, WV seeks to ensure children and young people’s voices and perspectives are front and centre in national and global fora on climate change, and their needs and aspirations are reflected in climate change decision-making processes.

Our commitment to urban populations at risk of intersecting vulnerabilities

As an international humanitarian and development organization, World Vision is committed to addressing the needs and fulfilling the rights of the most vulnerable children and youth in the poorest, most violent, and fragile cities, towns, and other urban contexts. We ensure they participate in decisions and initiatives that impact their lives. We commit to working with and through multi-sectoral and multi-disciplinary partnerships with faith communities and institutions at local, municipal/city, and national levels to influence urban policy and practice, especially those affecting the most vulnerable and marginalized urban groups.
