The OECD Roundtable on Cities and Regions for the SDGs serves as a dynamic forum for exchanging ideas, strategies, and best practices on the localisation of the SDGs among local, regional and national governments, international organisations, academia, civil society, and the private sector.
OECD Roundtable on Cities and Regions for the SDGs
A collaborative platform fostering dialogue and action among diverse stakeholders to localise the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in cities and regions.
About
Our mission
Our core mission is to promote peer-to-peer learning, supporting cities and regions to localise the SDGs, fostering a more sustainable, inclusive, and resilient future. By facilitating a multi-stakeholder dialogue, we strive to catalyse impactful actions and scalable solutions to address pressing global challenges, fostering collaboration and innovation across sectors and communities.
How it works
Through annual roundtables, we convene a diverse group of stakeholders to discuss challenges, share innovations, and identify opportunities for advancing the SDGs locally. These gatherings are complemented by research, policy analysis, recommendations and a repository of resources accessible to all participants.
