The Global Task Force of Local and Regional Governments, through United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG), the Network of Regional Governments for Sustainable Development (nrg4SD), the UN Development Programme (UNDP) and the UN Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat), will launch a roadmap titled ‘'Implementation at the Subnational Level,' meant to localize implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The launch event for the roadmap will review mechanisms, practices and experiences promoted thus far, and analyze possible bottlenecks and innovative solutions to advance the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development within local settings. The event, which aims to strengthen political commitment and forge a global alliance towards local implementation of the SDGs, will include a debate on the role played by local governance stakeholders in ensuring that development benefits all and that no one is left behind.
