UN-Habitat

Schedules may not always align right away, but sooner or later…! At #COP31 today, London’s Mayor @SadiqKhan formally received his @UNHABITAT Scroll of Honour award for his leadership in advancing affordable and sustainable housing as well as inclusive and climate-resilient urban development in London. “We hope to work together from now on to spread and to disseminate, to share your learnings and the message that’s coming from London. You are making efforts, you are committed towards providing accessible, affordable housing, sustainable urbanization. So we thank you for your contribution,” UN-Habitat’s Executive Director @AnacludiaRossb1 said at the formal presentation ceremony. The 2026 awards were originally presented in Muscat in October at the global observance for World Habitat Day, which had been hosted by the Sultanate of Oman. Launched in 1989, the award recognizes individuals and institutions whose work contributes to adequate housing, sustainable urbanization and better urban life.
