\"\"<\/p>\n

Held every three years, the <\/span>UCLG World Summit and Congress<\/span><\/a> builds on the century-old origins of UCLG as a movement driven by peace, solidarity and city diplomacy, and the pledge of the local and regional governments\u2019 constituency around the world to safeguard the dreams and aspirations of their communities. <\/span>The 7th UCLG Congress will be held from 10 to 14 October in Daejeon, South Korea.<\/b><\/p>\n

As in previous years, the Global Platform for the Right to the City and its members will be participating actively at the congress, leading and joining a series of activities. Below, you may find some highlights of this participation. <\/span>Here<\/span><\/a>, you can consult the full programme of the congress.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Town Hall process<\/b><\/h2>\n

The UCLG Town Hall is the space for dialogue and interaction between different internationally organized civil society constituencies and the political leadership of the local and regional governments constituency to jointly define global policies. The subjects of the <\/span>Town Hall are directly linked to UCLG\u2019s Pact for the Future and its three axes (People, Planet and Government<\/b>) and are the following: Caring systems; Climate and Culture; Global Commons and Trust in Government.<\/span><\/p>\n

Under this framework, the GPR2C has been leading the discussion linked to the\u00a0 Commons Town Hall, formed by a broad range of organizations and networks. Following the participatory methodology for the Town Halls, this working group has met multiple times since January 2022; resulting in the drafting of a Policy Paper on the Global Commons, prepared to inform discussions during and beyond the 7th Congress of UCLG. <\/span>You can read more about the Commons Town Hall and the policy paper here.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

The session to exchange on reflections and recommendations regarding the Commons Town Hall will take place on Thursday October 13th from 12h – 13:30h local time. <\/b>The session will seek to contribute to:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Articulating and deepening shared narratives on the commons from an intersectional,multi-sectorial and trans-scalar perspective;<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Broadening collaborations and partnerships across sectors and regions in order to foster the commons at material, symbolic and political level;<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Leveraging the voice and role of local communities in order to strengthen integrated and co-created public policies for more just, democratic and sustainable territories<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
