The side event addressed effective crime prevention practices and the enhancement of criminal justice measures in urban settings, emphasising and connecting SDG 16 (promoting peace, justice, and strong institutions) and SDG 11 (making cities inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable). The panellists Juma Assiago, UN-Habitat, Elena Abbati, UNODC United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime in Brazil, Siria Gastélum Felix, Global Initiative against Transnational Organized Crime and Felix Munger, Canadian Centre for Safer Communities explored innovative approaches to tackling urban crime and radicalization in urban settings.

In this context, Elena Abbati introduced the Crime and Violence Prevention Programme of Pernambuco – a programme that provides technical support for the implementation and monitoring for the prevention of violence and treatment of drug use disorders. Siria Gastélum Felix presented among other projects the Resilience Fund. The Fund supports the Global Initiative’s goal to strengthen resilience in communities threatened by criminal governance.
