Thanks @WRIRossCities and @MaimunahSharif @SamehNWahba @AniDasguptaWRI Sheela Patel @sdinet @rogier_berg #BuildBackBetter for good debate on COVID19 impact on the worlds most vulnerable in our cities
Rebuilding means a real reset, we cannot and should not want to go back. No matter how tough, we have to progress. Responding in a siloed, single focused matter will only make us more vulnerable. #BuildBackBetter @WRIRossCities 
Post crisis response too often is aimed at overcoming the current crisis. In this narrow approach we loose track of the complexity of global challenges. We can’t go one-by-one, no way! We have to take on the full 2030 Agenda. Leaving nothing and no one behind! #BuildBackBetter
Integrating all challenges while including all people is our best approach. Shying away from investing trillions in stupid infrastructure. Using this crisis to overcome the lock-in in sustainable finance. #BuildBackBetter @WRIRossCities
Our existing assessments, business case frameworks focus too much on short term financial returns, instead of on adding value across the SDGs. Now or never? It is time for massive, sustainable and inclusive action. #BuildBackBetter @WRIRossCities
If our institutional capacity fails in overcoming this short term and siloed approach, our collaborative capacity can help overcome this deficit. Starting with the people, the needs on the ground, the local coalitions, in our cities, slums, and communities. #BuildBackBetter
The most vulnerable first! We are as strong as our weakest link. Solidarity is a two way street: we need eachother to confront this crisis, to confront all crises and continue to look ahead holistic and inclusive. #BuildBackBetter @WRIRossCities
The crises of the world are too big to ignore, to big to simplify, too big for our existing systems, to big to go alone, too big for fragmentation. We must and can act now, leaving no one behind in an inclusive, sustainable systems’ approach.
