🟡#UCLGMeets The Local Social Covenant is a clear call to place people at the center. With the #Culture2030Goal campaign, culture becomes a pillar—integrating #culturalrights into public institutions, and building governance with people. #Tangier2026 🗨️Stephen Wyber @IFLA

🟡 #UCLGMeets @AgustiFdeLosada , Secretario de Acción Exterior y de la UE @exteriorscat 🗣️El feminismo es un enfoque que transversaliza todo lo que hacemos: en un contexto de multiples crisis, desigualdad, emergencia climática... necesitamos respuestas trasnsformadoras.

Under the theme “100 Days of Local Multilateralism,” a strategic process is launched to unify the voice of local and regional governments in the international arena at the Hotel Catalonia Barcelona Plaza. 📌 A shared path toward the post-2030 agenda: this cycle links key milestones (#WUF13, the UCLG World Congress, the 10-year review of the #NUA, the 2026 #HLPF including the review of #SDGs 11, #COP31 in Türkiye, and the U20 Summit in New York) to co-create a shared roadmap towards the end of the #2030Agenda and the post-2030 framework. 📅 Agenda of the Day 📍10:00 am | Launch of the “100 Days of Multilateralism”: Defining the strategic roadmap to influence the 2026 global agenda. 📍12:00 pm | New Urban Agenda Stocktaking: Review of a decade of implementation and its role as an accelerator of global goals. 📍3:00 pm | Debate on the Post-2030 Agenda: Positioning cities in relation to power spaces such as the G20, G7, and BRICS.

👩‍💼🌍 La sesión puso en el centro cuestiones urgentes como el liderazgo de las mujeres en la vida política, la gestión de la migración y el rol de las ciudades en la respuesta al desplazamiento global, subrayando la necesidad de representación formal en los espacios donde se negocian los pactos internacionales. 🕊️ Con un firme compromiso ético y solidario hacia poblaciones afectadas por conflictos armados, el lanzamiento de los “100 Días de Multilateralismo Local” marca el inicio de una etapa de intensa movilización política y técnica para que las voces territoriales impulsen la transformación del sistema internacional 🚀✨.

Reflecting on progress, rethinking priorities, and advancing a shared vision for inclusive and sustainable development. Local and regional governments continue to play a key role in shaping what comes next. خلال UCLG Retreat اليوم تمتد مناقشات من عقدٍ على الأجندة الحضرية الجديدة إلى إعادة تصور أجندة ما بعد عام 2030. نتأمل ما تحقق من تقدم، ونعيد التفكير في الأولويات، ونعمل على تعزيز رؤية مشتركة من أجل تنمية شاملة ومستدامة. وتواصل الادارات المحلية والإقليمية أداء دور محوري في رسم ملامح المرحلة المقبلة.

Today, during a rich and forward-looking debate with the @globaltaskforce, focused on the future and the implementation of the #Agenda2030, we heard a powerful call from @UCLG_Saiz to step up and take the lead: 🗣️“We need to make sure that multilateralism works and that we are part of the renewal of the multilateral system.” She also urged us to think beyond the current framework and engage in the follow-up of the global agenda: 🗣️ “What comes next? What happens after the SDG's? 2030 is around the corner.” A timely reminder that local and regional governments must not only implement the agenda — but actively shape what comes after it. 📺 Watch the full meeting live right here 👉🏽 bit.ly/UCLGMEETS #UCLGMeetsSDGs #Multilateralism #LocalGovernments #GlobalTaskforce #Agenda2030

🔴🔵#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.

🔴🔵 @EckartWuerzner, Mayor of Heidelberg & Chair of the UN Forum of Mayors 💬 In 2030, we should have a discussion about who we should be trusting. We need to bring every leader on board. If this is done together, then we, as political leaders, can be a strong voice.

🔴🔵 #Listen2Cities 🌐The Post-2030 Agenda Reimagined W/ SDG targets off track, the session will stress how #LRGs reflect on Trust, Finance, Feminism & Multilateralism to envision futures where local action shapes global priorities & strengthens collective delivery beyond 2030.

🔵🔴Il est temps de repenser le multilatéralisme, les hiérarchies patriarcales et l’eurocentrisme pour des villes multiculturelles, inclusives et résilientes, prêtes à relever le défi climatique à travers la coopération. 🗨️@AlfonsoGomezCru, Maire @VilleDeGeneve #Listen2Cities
