Baku: "We are facing many global environmental challenges today, including climate change and biodiversity loss," Rozalie Boyle, a video producer at the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD), told AZERTAC. Boyle emphasized the urgent need for joint action to tackle these issues, particularly in the context of rapidly growing urban areas where access to services and opportunities is unevenly distributed.

According to Azerbaijan State News Agency, Rozalie Boyle highlighted the lack of sufficient space in cities to accommodate everyone in need. She pointed out that this scarcity underscores the importance of platforms like the World Urban Forum 13, which serve as crucial venues for exchanging ideas and addressing the gaps in sustainable urban development strategies. The forum is seen as a pivotal event for discussing innovative solutions and fostering collaborative efforts to create more equitable and sustainable cities.
