Towards the 2022 Daejon Congress

Speakers:

Mark Watts, Executive Director of C40 Cities

Edgar Pieterse, Director, African Centre for Cities, UCLG UBUNTU Advisor

The first 3 waves of action -on Housing, Migration, and Local Finance- came to an end in 2019 with a resounding success. The session in the Retreat will aim at exploring potential topics for the next Waves of Action by building on the lessons learned from 2018-2019, ensuring they align with the priorities of our World Organization, and leading the way towards our 2022 Congress.

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 Policy Council that aligns the most with the Pact for Planet is Safer, Resilient and Sustainable Cities, Capable of Facing Crises.

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.
