The UCLG World Council adopts a Pact for the Future of Humanity: For people, for the planet, for the government
Local and regional government leaders, as well as partners, feel that we are at a foundational moment. The shared sense of purpose is inspiring our renewed strategic priorities, which are geared towards embracing Generation Equality, defining a new ecological reality, and working toward a new generation of rights and renewed inclusive multilateralism.
The 2020 UCLG World Council, hosted by the City of Guangzhou and the Chinese Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries, came to its conclusion by adopting a far-reaching Pact for the Future, a pact that goes beyond mayors and towards human and planetary commitment. The outcomes of the Policy Debates that took place in our World Council will also be essential to inspire our action for the future of humanity.
The Pact for the Future will be powered by solidarity, equality, culture, and accountable institutions that leave no-one and no place behind. The leadership of the municipal movement is convinced that the fruits of their discussions and shared experiences should feed into and shape global agendas, and this Pact is set to reflect the shared principles, values, and aspirations of our communities, and truly go beyond international agreements.
This pact for the future will need to bring all stakeholders together, to bring about the necessary actions that will take us to ensure a future for the younger generations, reflecting on our shared commitments gearing towards the 100th anniversary of the United Nations, and truly build a world that leaves no one and no place behind. The Pact will be made up of three different elements around which the discussion was organized.
"Looking ahead to 2021, looking ahead to 2030, and looking ahead to 2045, we are ready to develop the actions that will ensure a future for our communities, a world that leaves no one and nowhere behind" Mohamed Boudra, UCLG President.
