The Global Compact Cities Programme, or Cities
Programme, is the urban arm of the United Nations Global Compact. Its
International Secretariat is based in Melbourne, Australia and is hosted by
RMIT University. Its Executive is comprised of the Cities Programme Director
and Deputy Director and the Head of Local Networks from the Global Office New
York.
To advance the Ten Principles of the UN Global
Compact in the areas of human rights, labour, the environment and
anti-corruption we work with cities and regions and partners to progress social
equity and justice, environmental sustainability and good governance in the
urban environment.
The Cities Programme works to advance the
Global Compact and the Ten Principles in cities and regions through:
- Networking to transfer knowledge and practice
- Creating new knowledge to underpin the progress of cities and regions
- Enabling effective action through capacity building and cross-sectoral collaboration
- Supporting planning, monitoring and reporting activities
- Communicating the achievements of cities and regions.
