#Localization is a central theme of the Intl Conference #RCRC24. However, little is being said about the role of local and regional governments as frontline #humanitarian responders. We need to increase collaboration with them in shaping global humanitarian policies.

Join us on 7 Nov. at WUF! GCH organizes the “Multilateral city diplomacy in crisis situations: improving multilevel governance” discussion in cooperation with CUF and UCLG. WUF inspires multilateral fora to integrate LRGs into forward-looking global decision-making processes.

In our updated policy paper on "The use of AI in cities" or the one on "Pandemic Treaty" GCH recommends that IOs take their fair share identifying and promoting local best practices when creating international regulations. Find out more: lnkd.in/eqMbxXJE

Deeply honored to host a Peace Panel on “Building Peace through an Urban Lens,” during #GenevaPeaceWeek. Hearing how peace is shaped at local level across Ramallah, a city under occupation, Aleppo, a city devastated by war, and cities facing criminal gangs was truly insightful!

On the sidelines of the #ForumofMayors, GCH fostered a rich exchange between mayors & leaders from @UNCTAD @UNECE @Refugees & @WHO Topics: refugee inclusion, sustainable urbanization, health & trade—all key globally & locally. Local & Regional governments = key to real impact!

At the Forum of Mayors, Co-director Duong called on Member States to consider extending the Forum’s mandate and deepening their engagement with mayors, as they are uniquely positioned to bridge the gap between global governance and local communities. Congratulations to @UNECE 🎉

As 11th negotiation session on new WHO pandemic treaty is about to close, we need to reflect upon what’s (not) in there for LRGs. Read GCH’s policy paper (tinyurl.com/44smr559) to better understand challenges to overcome if LRGs are to be more involved in future negotiations.

Exciting news! Mayor @brunomarchand of @villequebec 🇨🇦 will join the Fourth #ForumOfMayors! 🌍Quebec City is known for its focus on social cohesion, global health, and energy transition. We look forward to his valuable insights!

During its #HRC57, the UN Human Rights Council will negotiate a new resolution on "Local Government and Human Rights". It is commendable that the Council highlights the crucial role of local governments in implementing #HumanRights on the ground."

Thank you Sylvie Bollini for the refreshing discussion on inclusive multilateralism and International Geneva ecosystem. CoE Congress of Local and Regional Authorities in Strasbourg and the Forum of Mayors in Geneva might serve as inspirations for UN-wide inclusive multilateralism

It was a great honor to meet Ms. Anacláudia Rossbach, incoming Executive Director of UN-Habitat. GCH wishes success in this new endeavor and looks forward to continuing our excellent collaboration.
