Given these are challenges that we all face, we would like to acknowledge the contributions of and express our gratitude to everyone who has been involved in the GEO for Cities process, particularly the expert authors for their dedication, commitment and willingness to engage; the Advisory Committee for their flexibility and guidance; and the United Nations Environmental Programme Secretariat for steering
this ship through the difficult and unpredictable waters of the past two years.
We hope this publication informs and inspires you to discuss, observe, plan and take action for a just and environmentally sustainable future for our cities, people, nature and the planet.
