📢At #APFSD ✨Prof. @ggshin of #Gwangju opens our discussion on #CareInfrastructures by sharing the key hard and soft infrastructures that sustain the innovative and inclusive Gwangju #CommunityCare system.🏙️ #CaringCities #GOLDVII #CSW70

🧶From #Gwangju’s Community Care program to a wider discussion on #CareInfrastructures, cities are rethinking at the #CaringCities event how housing, healthcare, culture & citizen participation can support care, inclusion & wellbeing for all. #APFSD #CaringCities #GOLDVII #CSW70

✨Care is a critical sector, and a lens for local governance. “By centering care, cities can become more inclusive, safe & sustainable, advancing #SDG11 while recognizing & redistributing care work.” @uclg_org Head of Research @Anna_C_intnal #APFSD #CaringCities #GOLDVII

🎙️"#Care lies at the heart of gender, social justice &sustainability of life. Care is also part of @uclg_org’s Local Social Covenant and we at @uclg_aspac have been supporting this vision &turning it into action." @uclgaspac SG @BernadiaIrawati🌿 #APFSD #CaringCities #GOLDVII

🟡 #UCLGMeets Local leadership and collective decision-making are essential elements to creating better approaches. 📝The @GoldUCLG reports and the @GuangzhouAward are 🔑 tools for learning and systemic change. We need a common agenda aligned with global goals.

🟡 #UCLGMeets Our longstanding collaboration continues to advance the #Housing agenda @UCLG_org & @IIED Alex Frediani 🏙️Linking research, advocacy & local leadership 4 housing justice & democratic governance—with honesty & shared responsibility.🌿 Onwards towards #Tangier2026

🔴🔵 #Listen2Cities 🏙️ A Decade of the #NewUrbanAgenda 💡This session explores how #LRGs have advanced localization, human rights & sustainable urban development, shaping global narratives & linking the NUA to the 2030 Agenda and post-2030 frameworks.

🔴🔵#Listen2Cities #LRGs play a crucial role in advancing the #SDGs and #NUA. #HousingJustice intersects with climate, peace, security. Addressing evictions is key to protecting #HumanRights and building inclusive, resilient communities. 🗨️@IIED Senior Researcher Camila Cociña

🔴🔵 #Listen2Cities 🏙️ A Decade of the #NewUrbanAgenda 🗣️ Sithole Mbanga, CEO @SALGA_Gov 💬 We need to fund the New Urban Agenda, this is essential. Financing the Agenda is a critical element.

🔴🔵#NUA is more than a framework—it’s a political commitment to work for & with people. Beyond 2030, we need systemic change and ask: are methodological & implementation efforts truly aligned to turn reporting into real influence? 🗨️@UCLG_CIB Chair Neila Akrimi #Listen2Cities

🔴🔵 #Listen2Cities 🏙️ A Decade of the New Urban Agenda 💰Sébastien Vauzelle from @Local2030, calls to scale up action through finance & #LRGs involvement, linking multiple agendas. What we achieve now builds the narrative for post-2030 and proves that multilateralism delivers.

🔴🔵 Empowered #LRGs are 🔑: national governments must share power to deliver local solutions for post-2030 cities. 📄The #NUA shows how to plan, build, and mobilize communities, moving beyond housing to tackle urbanization and climate resilience. #Listen2Cities

🔴🔵#Listen2Cities Multilevel governance frameworks must include: ✅Protect institutional memory & build on coalitions to mobilize funding beyond governments. ✅Rebalance governance & financing to tackle inequalities. ✅Strengthen enforceability & reconnect services with people.

At the 13th #APFSD this side event brings together city leaders, policymakers and partners to explore how transforming caring cities at the local level can shape more inclusive and resilient cities across Asia and the Pacific. unwo.men/R3aK50Yhp2y #CaringCities #Listen2Cities
