🎯 Description: Building on the Durban Declaration, which was approved in 2019, and in which we expressed our resolve to become a municipalist movement driven by equality and local democracy, UCLG has taken strides to evolve and incorporate its concepts of peace.

2022 offers the opportunity to bring together aspects of peacebuilding that were already a part of our Organization and develop them in a single process that can be mainstreamed in our agenda, culminating in an all-encompassing Forum on Cities and Territories of Peace in 2023, and into an integral part of the renewal of our strategic priorities from 2022-2028.

The session will also contribute to developing a roadmap for peace that can be further mainstreamed within the work of UCLG, influencing the political processes towards the UCLG World Summit and beyond, and becoming an important component of the Pact for the Future of Humanity.
