Met ethodol hodology: ogy: Source ces s for 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.

For Europe, surveys were collected by CEMR/PLATFORMA - 47 surveys
In Involv olvement ment of of LRGs LRGs by regi gions ons Since last year, the localization movement has spread to almost all the regions of 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.
LRGs participation in the VNRs 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 Total 2016 2017 2018 (excluding repeated countries) 37 Total countries 22 43 93 (out of 47) Consulted 11 17 18 40 50% 40% 49% 43% Weak consultation 4 10 4 17 18% 23% 11% 18% Not consulted 7 15 9 29 32% 35% 24% 31% No Local 1 6 7 Governments No information 10 10

The tran ansf sfor ormati mation on towar ards ds su sust staina ainable ble an and resilient silient so soci cieties ies The report highlights more than 120 examples of cities and regions that contribute to the localization of 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 of 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 of 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
Fos ostering ering the lo loca caliza lization ion of of SD SDGs: Gs: Means ans of of Imp Implem lementati entation on • Institutional refoms to support LRGs and the localization process • How can the localization process be effectively financed ? • Monitoring and indicators • Capacity building initiatives • International and decentralized cooperation
A way f for orwar ard (1 (1) • 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
A w way f for orwar ard (2 (2) 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.
