World Metropolitan Day, celebrated on October 14, highlights the vital role of metropolitan areas in our urbanising world. This global event raises awareness about the challenges and opportunities faced by these dynamic regions, which drive economic growth, social development, and environmental sustainability.
The theme for World Metropolitan Day 2024, "Leading the Just Transition," will be explored in the host city of Dakar, emphasising the critical role that cities and young people play in driving a fair and equitable transition towards a sustainable, low-carbon future while addressing social and economic inequalities, ensuring that no one is left behind.
