Decentralised cooperation for sustainable urban development
Description:
Following the Rio Earth Summit in 1992, the international community has constantly reaffirmed the importance of local government in the fight against climate change and the biodiversity crisis. This level of governance holds key levers for achieving the global objectives set by the Paris Agreement.
In this context, decentralised cooperation offers opportunities for capacity building, multi-stakeholder mobilisation, citizen participation, exchanges and the financing of sustainable local development projects.
How can local players be mobilised to work towards sustainable urban development through decentralised cooperation? How can the impact of these public policies be assessed?
Using examples, this round table aims to highlight the tools available to local governments to strengthen their sustainable local development policies.
