She shared valuable insights on our groundbreaking work in green recovery and urban reconstruction, emphasizing how urban innovations can drive positive change in post-conflict regions and contribute to the realization of the New Urban Agenda, in alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
We were particularly honored by the participation of Anacláudia Rossbach, Executive Director of UN-Habitat, and Michal Mlynár, Deputy Executive Director of UN-Habitat. Their contributions significantly enriched the dialogue on the opportunities and responsibilities involved in rebuilding sustainable cities.
