HLPF Report: Towards the localization of SDGs
The 6th report to the UN’s High Level Political Forum HLPF, Towards the localization of the SDGs, was launched on Monday 11 July 2022 at the UN. The report provides an overview of the efforts made by local and regional governments to advance SDGs 4, 5,14, 15 and 17. The message from the UCLG who oversaw the production of the report was clear: ‘to sufficiently empower local and regional governments so that they can continue providing key services to their communities and contributing to a more just and sustainable future. The moment to act is now and inequalities are not an option anymore’.
