St Stru ructur cture of the he report

HLPF 2018: 47 countries reporting, including 50 300 local and regional governments Different sources for the report: 1. survey circulated among LRGs (March - April 2018) 2. contributions of several LRGs networks members of the Global Task Force of Local and Regional Governments (AIMF, CLGF, C40, ICLEI, nrg4SD, UCLG sections and committees) 3. expert groups from regions and partners (UNISDR, Asian Coalition of Housing Rights, CAHFA, IIED, ISWA, UITP) 4. HLPF 2018 Main messages and VNRs published INFORMATION ON THE SURVEYS : 101 responses, from 61 different countries, 28 of which are reporting to the 2018 HLPF. 54 replies sent by LGAs, 46 by cities and regions, 1 NGO (Djibouti). For Europe, surveys were collected by CEMR/PLATFORMA - 47 surveys

Met ethodol hodology:

• gy: Source

ces s for the he report

Since last year, the localization movement has spread to almost all the regions

• f the world. Despite these trends, outreach is still limited to a group of

advanced cities and associations.

• In Europe, the mobilization is more important in Northern and Western countries and,

limited in East and Southern-East Europe

• In North America, many LRGs in USA and in Canada and their associations implicitly

support many of the SDGs.  VLR of New York

• In Latin America, Brazil, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic and, to a lesser extent,

Colombia made progress. Ecuador and Uruguay follow. In Argentina and Mexico efforts focus on states and some large cities. In the other countries, progress is more limited.

• In Africa, South Africa, Benin, Togo are the more advanced. Other countries follow

such as Nigeria and Kenya (at the regional or county level), Botswana, Cabo Verde, Morocco, Sierra Leone, Uganda, which are piloting localization projects

• In Asia Pacific, Indonesia, Korea and Japan (VLR of 3 cities) are among the most
• advanced. Followed by Australia and New Zealand. Several countries promote

alignment between national and local plans (China, Indonesia, Nepal, Philippines, Vietnam). In India, efforts focus States level.

• In Eurasia and Mewa, still a long way ahead for the localization of the SDGs.

Some initiatives are reported in Turkey. In Eurasia, top-down approaches.

In 2018, LRGs were involved in the reporting process and preparation of VNRs in 18 countries (of the 37 we received information on, and 47 that report), while in 2016 and 2017, LRGs were involved in 28 out of 65 countries, i.e. 49% in 2018 and 43% in 2016-2017

The report highlights more than 120 examples of cities and regions that contribute to the localization

• f SDGs 6, 7, 11, 12 and 15, fostering major policy changes. For each SDG, the report analyses global

trends, main challenges and LRGs action.

Visionary local & regional leaders champion major policy changes

• Supporting affordable housing policies, effective mobility systems, more sustainable use of water

and energy, integrated waste management, participatory planning approaches, that protect public space and progressively include risk prevention.

• Implementing cultural policies that foster diversity and inclusiveness.
• Driving new forms of urbanism to develop opportunities, promote social inclusion, new patterns
• f consumption and production, as well as more respectful urban-rural linkages and environmental

sustainability.

However, critical global trends impact on subnational governments

• Not all urban areas and territories face the same challenges.
• Sub-Saharan and South Asian cities will suffer the biggest pressure to accommodate the majority
• f the ‘one million’ new urban dwellers per week expected over the next decades.
• Real-estate markets and the commodification of urban services are exacerbating housing crises,

spatial segregation and inequalities.

• Climate change, increasing impact of natural and human-made disasters in urban areas among the

global threats

• Strengthening awareness, policy commitment and ownership among LRGs and their

partners to expand the involvement of subnational governments in the localization process

• Supporting the pro-active involvement of local and regional governments in the VNR

process in the countries that will report in 2019, as well as their collaboration with the institutional mechanisms for coordination and follow-up in each country

• Ensuring the active participation of LRGS in the Regional Forums on Sustainable

Development organized by the UN Regional Commissions, to provide regional inputs to the HLPF

• Promoting and supporting the development of tools for LRGs self-assessments on

the alignment of their development plans and strategies with the SDGs to foster the localization process

• Promoting Voluntary Local Review (VLR) at city and regional levels, and collect these

initiatives through the annual LRGs report to the HLPF

• Promoting international cooperation and peer-to-peer knowledge exchange for

localization through city-to-city and decentralized cooperation, aligned with the SDGs

GTF members and partners call for:

• Fostering the integration of specific references or a section on local and regional

governments actions in the VNRs

• Including follow-up processes to the VNRs and develop the HLPF as a space for

exchange of inspiring practices

• Opening up spaces for dialogue and consultation between local and regional

governments and national governments within the context of the HLPF

• Promoting the implementation of the New Urban Agenda as a key corner stone

and accelerator of the localization and achievement of the SDGs.

• Incorporating local solutions and actions in the quadrennial Global Sustainable

Development Report to be issued in 2019

• Rallying local and regional governments to lead an international coalition for the

implementation of SDG 11

Members of the GTF further commit to continue to contribute to the mapping of LRGs initiatives and perspectives which will improve the collective Annual Report of LRGs to the HLPF.
