13. So what needs to be done?
1. Implementing SDGs (and NUA) for maximum impact
• Building out infrastructure for implementation: Concrete actions with financing streams that can
be accessed and leveraged
• Building a new movement of global multi-stakeholder partnership - What will it take?
• Deepening philanthropy engagement

settlement input the ALL SDG reviews
• Fostering interlinked approaches for implementation: Cities and Inequalities, Cities and Gender,
Cities and Climate, Cities and Jobs, Urban Rural Linkages
• Encouraging cross sectoral solutions e.g. Nexus: water-food-energy-climate particularly at the sub
national level
• Enhancing science-policy interface for a wider territorial approach (not just urban) to interconnect
the science of cities with broader humankind challenges
3. Supporting sustained post-Quito stakeholder engagement
