The Global Forum of Local Governments is a space to make progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals, implement the 2030 Agenda and make effective the Paris Agreement on Climate Change. It meets yearly with around 1,000 participants representing local governments and relevant stakeholders (including businesses, trade unions and civil society). Its objective is to turn cities into more sustainable places that are committed to the management of natural spaces and that seek to be more efficient.
The New European Bauhaus initiative, announced by the European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, is conceived as a movement based on sustainability, inclusiveness and aesthetics, meant to bring the European Green Deal closer to people.
