Under the theme “Fostering a recovery that is resilient and led by the communities”, the fourth Local and Regional Governments Forum on the 2030 Agenda will illustrate the importance of localizing action towards the achievement of the SDGs in review in 2021 and how partnerships amongst spheres of government and stakeholders are crucial in this regard.

This Special Event will highlight the actions taken and the solutions needed by the local and regional governments constituency for an inclusive, sustainable and resilient recovery from COVID-19, by: emphasizing the link between local public service provision and health coverage illustrating the role local and regional governments play in guaranteeing social inclusion and prosperity, reskilling workers and preparing for the transformation of work and evolving models of production and consumption, rethinking the human-nature relationship, and achieving strong institutions based on solidarity and cooperation across borders and continents.

The objective of the fourth edition of the Local and Regional Governments Forum is to foster multilevel governance and partnership among different spheres of government, the international
community and other stakeholders within the Decade of Action for the achievement of the 2030 Agenda, and to foster an inclusive, resilient and locally driven recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.

This event is co-organized by UNDESA, the Global Taskforce of Local and Regional Governments (GTF), UN-Habitat, UNDP and Local 2030.
