Participation in the Cities Programme begins with a commitment to uphold the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact. The highest level city leader submits a letter to the UN Secretary-General. A city can then move on to becoming a Reporting City and Innovating City. Follow the links below.

“With such a global reach, the UN Global Compact relies heavily on local action and efforts to promote the Ten Principles and facilitate their implementation on the ground.

Cities – in particular – have the potential to make enormous strides in creating truly sustainable societies – where economic, social, political and environmental issues are integrated and advanced.

The Global Compact Cities Programme seeks to do just that—and assists cities to coordinate the resource, expertise and experience within government, business and civil society to address complex urban challenge”.
