Join the UCLG World Forum of Intermediary Cities
5-8 October 2021, Kütahya
Dear members of the World Council,
Following the preparatory meetings held last July, the Second World Forum of Intermediary Cities, “Life Systems for a Resilient Future”, is taking place on 5-8 of October, in Kütahya, Turkey.
Intermediary cities hold unique opportunities and solutions to address global challenges and are fundamental for accelerating efforts around international agreements, especially the localization of the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It is in this framework that the work of the Forum is very much at the heart of the policies promoted by the World Organization.
Given the still challenging health situation, the Forum will be held both in a virtual and hybrid format, as follows:
- Fully virtual sessions on 5 & 6 October;
- The plenaries and closing ceremony on 8 October will be hybrid, allowing both online and in-person attendance in Kütahya.
You will find the presentation note, the programme and concept notes here.
Registration
Please find below the links to register to the different sessions:
REGISTER TO ATTEND IN PERSON
Should you plan on attending in person, please let us know in advance as hosts can provide logistical information and support. We kindly ask that you complete this form.
Local4Action Hub Open Space
In order to revive and deepen the traditional networking space we were used to during in-person conferences and events, join us in virtual informal discussions in the ‘Wonder’ platform. We are opening a virtual space to introduce, present, debate and dialogue on local experiences on/by/from intermediary cities.
Local and regional governments, their associations and partner organizations are invited to express their interest to convene a 45-minute thematic conversation. You can find more information, as well as the submission form, open until 28 September, here.
For inquiries or additional information please contact: intermediarycities@uclg.org. We look forward to welcoming you!
Sincerely,
The UCLG World Secretariat
