SUMMARY:Localising Agenda 2030: how regions can help meet the SDGs
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our online debate on “Localising Agenda 2030: how regions can help meet the SDGs”\, on Wednesday 24 June from 14:30 to 16:00 CEST. \nUNDER DISCUSSION \nRegions and cities have been the first responders to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic\, coping with the immediate impact on their health systems\, and enforcing lockdowns while sustaining families and local businesses. In its economic recovery plan\, the European Commission has recognized the instrumental role of regions for a sustainable recovery. Now more than ever\, local and national authorities should join forces towards achieving a more resilient global society. With 2030 a decade away\, regions should take a lead on implementing the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)\, focusing on ensuring healthy lives and wellbeing\, inclusive and sustainable economic growth and equality within and among countries. \nKey questions include: \n\nWhat is the role of regions in attaining SDGs and how can they make sure that these are not taking the back seat in the current health crisis?\nWhat tools and key partnerships can be identified to strengthen resilience of regions and communities?\nWhat role do regions play in the framework of the Conference on the Future of Europe aimed at giving European citizens and localities a greater say on how the European Union could better work for them?\n\n\n\n\nSPEAKERS INCLUDE \nAziza Akhmouch\, Head of the OECD Division for Cities\, Urban Policies and Sustainable Development \nMagnus Bertnsson\, President of the Assembly of European Regions (AER) \nRaffaele Cattaneo\, Minister for Environment and Climate of Lombardy (IT); member of the Regions 4 Steering Committee  \nDamià Calvet\, Minister of Territory and sustainability of the Government of Catalonia\, representative of UCLG-Global Taskforce \nWallis Goelen\, Senior Expert\, European Commission Directorate-General for Regional and Urban Policy \n  \nModeration by Dharmendra Kanani\, Director of Insights\, Friends of Europe\n\n\nThis event is part of a series of events focussing on the Sustainable Development Goals in the run up the Regions2030 Conference in Strasbourg in 2021. \nWe are partnering with Friends of Europe for this event and\, as such\, are offering a limited amount of virtual spaces– on a first come\, first serve basis – allowing you to pose your questions and interact directly with the speaker as in any of our events. You will be visible directly on the screen too. \nAlternatively\, you may also watch the event via livestream and submit your question\, tweeting @europeanregions @FriendsofEurope using #FoEDebate.
