PLENARY - Localizing Sustainable Development: Gearing up to the Implementation Decade

-
14 November
Venue
Plenary Room

The 2030 Agenda and its transformative spirit are holding the key of a sustainable home for all of us, but for the goals to be achieved, they need to be owned at the local level. This is what localization is, at its core: a bottom-up process, aiming to build and shape global agendas based on the aspirations and wishes of the communities. UCLG will further launch the V Report of the Global Observatory on Decentralization and Local Democracy, which assesses national strategies for the implementation of the Global Agendas in each world region.
