Global Goals for Cities Manresa (Barcelona)

Global Goals for Cities Manresa (Barcelona) is a URBACT face-to-face event, linked to the localization of global agendas and, especially, of the SDGs in cities. It will be held at the Fundació Universitària del Bages (see on the map) on 22 and 23 September 2022. 

The meeting is associated with the URBACT network "Global Goal for Cities" and has a global, multilevel and multilateral perspective, from which to highlight the role of local governments and municipalities in this task.

The event is organized by the URBACT National Point Spain and the City Council of Manresa (a city near Barcelona), in collaboration with the International Relations Department of the Barcelona Provincial Council. It will address the localization of the global agendas and the SDGs covering the international, national, regional and local spheres. Therefore, it will have an eminently international perspective that links global and European institutions, as well as the members of the URBACT network.

The sessions will have a triple approach: exhibition, reflection and training, which will allow not only to nurture a multilevel and multilateral dialogue, but also to generate new ideas and knowledge and promote a transfer between municipalities of tools and solutions linked to the specific localization of the SDGs.

In this regard, the work that is being carried out between URBACT, UCLG and CEMR, as well as UN-Habitat or the JRC, is especially relevant, for which reason cross-training between different programs and institutions will be promoted in order to strengthen multilateral and multilevel alliances in relation to the localization of the SDGs.

Finally, the event will offer a space to show and nurture the work that is being carried out by URBACT and the URBACT “Global Goals for Cities” network.

*The event will be held in English and Spanish with simultaneous translation
