Aprovechando el impulso de acción multinivel sin precedentes de la COP28 y con la llegada de la COP16 y la COP29 a finales de año, las ciudades y regiones tienen una verdadera ventana de oportunidad para amplificar sus voces en los debates mundiales sobre el clima. En la sesión plenaria del Congreso Mundial ICLEI 2024, “De lo global a lo local a lo global: dando forma al futuro de la sostenibilidad”, alcaldes y líderes climáticos enfatizaron que ahora es el momento de que los gobiernos locales y regionales impulsen una acción unificada e intergubernamental para lograr las transformaciones urgentemente necesarias hacia un mundo sostenible.
As the world shapes the framework for the “Global Plastic Treaty,” the urgency to address plastic pollution has never been more pronounced, with completion aimed by the end of 2024. Regional initiatives like the UrbanShift Latin America Forum in Belém, Brazil, highlight how local actions and policies can align with global efforts to foster sustainable urban development.
From June 18 to 21, over 1,500 global attendees converged in São Paulo, Brazil, to celebrate the vital role of international networks in connecting cities, towns, regions, and communities. During the Congress’ closing plenary, ICLEI leaders underscored the power of collaboration and knowledge exchange in advancing local sustainability efforts and tackling shared challenges, propelling the much-needed global transformations.
