People's Livelihood and Cities - Building Back Greener
2021
This resource brief from the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) discusses the importance of the "building back better" strategy that prioritizes environmental, social, and economic justice. The brief examines how COVID-19 impacted urban livelihoods by disrupting access to services, widening inequalities, and reshaping urban public spaces. The UNEP discusses the key components of the strategy, including a quality-of-life economy, urban industrial policy, greening production patterns in cities, and climate action that intersects with social inequality. It also raises policy implications and urges for multisectoral urban governance, making public investments in economic recovery, and giving cities more power to develop innovative solutions and center local authorities and community voices.
