Co-creating Visions for 2021

Speakers:

Alexandre Apsan Frediani, Principal Researcher Human Settlements Group International Institute for Environment and Development

Michael Fakhri, United Nations Special Rapporteur on Right to Food

The #CitiesAreListening Experiences are born from one premise: that our cities will never be the same. From this sentiment that local and regional governments seek to rethink and reshape our territories, in dialogue with our communities, and all stakeholders. This session will aim sharing the lessons learned from the #CitiesAreListening experiences held so far, what our partners bring to the table, and ensure that the visions shared in the #CitiesAreListening experiences are an integral part of the Pact for the Future.

Over the past couple of weeks the 5 Policy Councils of the World Organization, policymaking mechanisms led by local leaders that allow us to strengthen our political debate and develop policy recommendations, have gathered twice -in the form of a Preparatory and a Formal meeting- ahead of the Annual Retreat to further feed the discussions.

The two Policy Councils most related to the Pact for People are, The Policy Council on Opportunities for All, Culture and City Diplomacy: Keys to Sustainable Development and Peace & The Policy Council on the Right to the city and inclusive territories.

Please find the documents below that outline the meetings, as well as the coverage by IISD.

Networking HUB 💡 An interactive space via Wonder

An interactive space to “see” each other in real time, to sit down and enjoy a coffee alone, with a colleague or a dear friend you haven´t seen in a while. This new tool seeks to maintain the spirit, and informality of interactions typically taking place in the UCLG networking HUB. Link to be shared when the Retreat begins.
