HLPF 2021 Local and Regional Governments’ Day and Forum | IISD Earth Negotiations Bulletin

LRG Day will provide an opportunity for exchange and discussions among local and regional governments with key UN partners and other constituencies. The annual Global Taskforce of Local and Regional Governments Report on Localizing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) will be presented and discussed. Participants will also discuss, among others, ways to support the local common agenda, summarized in the LRG “visioning report” on the future the LRG envision in 2045, which was presented at the UN’s 75th Anniversary celebrations in 2020.

The Local and Regional Governments’ Forum will take place under the theme “Fostering a Recovery that Is Resilient and Led by the Communities.” This special event will illustrate the importance of localizing action and partnerships among spheres of governments and stakeholders towards achieving the SDGs under review by the 2021 HLPF. Discussion topics will include:

  • Universal Health Coverage and Well Being;
  • Social Inclusion and Prosperity from the Ground Up;
  • Transformation of Work and Evolving Production and Consumption Models; and
  • Multilevel Governance and Strong, Inclusive Institutions.

The HLPF 2021 Local and Regional Governments’ Day and Forum will take place virtually on 9 July 2021, and 12-13 July 2021, respectively, in line with the continued health and safety measures put in place as in response to COVID-19.
