For this reason the WEA Creation Care Task Force has engaged with UN-Habitat since 2013 and has sent delegations to Habitat III, the 9th World Urban Forum, and hosted UN-Habitat Faith-Based Urban Thinkers Campuses in 2017 and 2019 where we hosted a regional conference for Africa, Central and South America, Asia, North America, and Europe.

We also helped form the Urban Shalom Society, which will be sending another delegation to UN-Habitat’s 10th World Urban Forum (WUF10) in Abu Dhabi Feb. 8-13, 2020.

If you are interested in joining the Urban Shalom Forum’s delegation to WUF10 please go to this link to learn more http://urbanshalomsociety.org/save-the-dates-10th-world-urban-forum-urban-shalom-forum/.
