Call for the 7th UCLG World Congress in 2022
Deadline: 1 September 2019
Dear Mayor, Dear President,
The triennial UCLG World Congress is a critical moment for the international movement of local and regional governments, gathering local elected representatives and their partners at an event so powerful it demands the spotlight on the global stage. What once began as a meeting point, the Congress has evolved into a complete experience that now encompasses various themes, formats and encapsulates the diversity of our century old movement. This congress should count on more innovation, interaction, inclusion, and input than ever before, culminating not only in our renewed vision, but also in policy documents to guide a unified and collaborative approach to implementing local solutions.
The 2022 Congress should remain a place for mayors, councillors and presidents of regional authorities and their associations to come together, while providing space for the full constituency, and an increasing number of partners, such as the Global Taskforce and other stakeholders.
The UCLG Presidency and members of the UCLG World Council are looking for innovative proposals that will be able to accommodate the ideas stated above and host this world‑class event.
Enclosed you will find all requirements for presenting a candidature.
If you think your city or local government association can meet this exciting challenge, our World Secretariat very much looks forward to receiving your proposal.
For further information or to present a candidature, please write to the attention of the UCLG Secretary General at UCLGExBu@uclg.org before 1 September 2019.
Sincerely,
The UCLG World Secretariat
