Looking Beyond the Horizon: WRI Responds to the Draft New Urban Agenda with an Eye Towards Implementation Post-Quito

• Habitat III negotiators must better include the implementation phase of the New Urban Agenda
• Linkages to other global processes (Sustainable Development Goals, the Paris Agreement) must be strengthened
• Progress reports must improved
• Agents for change must be enabled
• A Quito Action Agenda should be created
