Sign the Global Compact for Inclusive and Accessible Cities
Join a worldwide movement to make cities accessible for everyone — no one left behind by 2030.
Practical Tools for Inclusive City Leaders
Half of all persons with disabilities and older persons live in cities — yet urban environments still present daily barriers. The Global Compact on Inclusive and Accessible Cities aligns commitments to accessibility, universal design, and inclusion with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, the New Urban Agenda, the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, and the WHO’s Age-Friendly Cities Framework.
By signing, you join the #Cities4All campaign and affirm your commitment to building cities where everyone can thrive.
