Everywhere, some individuals and groups confront barriers that prevent them from fully participating in economic, social and political life, leaving them behind. The focus of the Agenda 2030 and the core aspiration of the World Family Summit 2017 is to highlight the inclusion of the family in the pro - cess of development with No Family Left Behind, by strengthening local authorities and families to build cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable.
