In the Europe and North America region, most countries already implement NUPs. In contrast, about 40 per cent of the countries in Africa and Asia and the Pacific are currently in the stage of developing NUPs. However, the data show that some fast-urbanising global regions, such as the Arab States, are making serious efforts to put urbanisation on national agendas. Meanwhile, attention to climate change resilience and environmental sustainability is weakest; only 11 (10 per cent) of NUPs give extensive attention to climate change resilience and 28 (26 per cent) to environmental sustainability.
