The fourth Local and Regional Governments Forum (LRGF), a Special Event of the High-level Political Forum on Sustainable Development 2021, will illustrate the importance of localizing action towards the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) being reviewed in 2021 and how partnerships amongst spheres of government and stakeholders are crucial in this regard.

The Forum will bring together local, regional, and national governments to discuss how decentralized cooperation among local and regional governments and their associations and networks, national authorities and the international community can contribute to the achievement of the SDGs. It will address the main theme of 2021 by bringing concrete recommendations to support a sustainable and resilient recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, building an inclusive and effective path for the achievement of the 2030 Agenda. It will also be an opportunity for local and regional governments and other stakeholders to announce SDG Acceleration Actions in support of the Decade of Action.

The Local and Regional Governments Forum on the 2030 Agenda is co-organized by the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA), the Global Taskforce of Local and Regional Governments (GTF), UN-Habitat, UNDP and Local 2030.
