Local solution, Global impact: the role of small and medium cities in accelerating climate action (Covenant Session at WUF)

The session aims at showcasing the actions of intermediary cities with the twofold intention - to present successful strategies of territorialising democratic processes - and to highlight the key role they play in delivering a successful ecological transition that is centered in human values. Another key objective is to call attention to the barriers that limit this potential, starting from the limited data available from intermediary cities and their rural-urban linkages which are often also less represented in formal processes.

This session, taking place at the World Urban Forum (WUF12), is co-organised with the Global Covenant of Mayors and United Cities and Local Governments.
