🟣Future Envisioning Exercise on Care
@emiliasaiz.bsky.social, UCLG’s SG
💬 Care is both an aspiration & an inspiration. It’s the prism through which we can imagine the public service of the future. To build a new economy, care must be at its 💜: shaping new essentials, new ways of serving.
#GOLDVII
Decía Jacques Delors, nadie se enamora de Europa por su "mercado único".
Tampoco lo conseguiremos con una política de seguridad y de defensa común (que es imprescindible).
Lo conseguiremos con un relato audaz de la utopía de la Europa en paz y diversa.

1 in 3 women in the EU has suffered violence.
Parliament has adopted EU-wide rules to combat violence against women.
In the next two years, EU countries must criminalise:
🔸 Cyberflashing
🔸 Non-consensual sharing of intimate or manipulated material
🔸 Forced marriage
🔸 Female genital mutilation
Empowered women and girls everywhere is the best guarantee for developed societies that leave no one and no place behind. It starts locally! And one more year we are bringing local governments’ women voices to #CSW69 🙌

🟡 UCLG SG @emiliasaiz.bsky.social kicks off the 2025 #UCLGMeets Retreat
"To bypass the curve, we need to develop a joint agenda. And this agenda needs to be one of local #democracy and participation, involving the #youth to develop #multilateralism."🦋
🔴🔵"We are in a time of unprecedented challenges and need solutions where local and regional governments #LRGs step up. We can do better in mobilizing public opinion, giving visibility to our achievements, to stories of transformation and impact."
Uribe Pando, SG Regions4
Today we will discuss youth action for sustainability; localization and climate justice! 🙌 local and territorial partnerships for global impact!

💬We should think beyond the status quo & speak loudly to ensure the new multilateralism is more inclusive & goes where we want it to. We should continue to reinforce the relation of member states & our constituency.
🔴🔵 @uclg.bsky.social SG @emiliasaiz.bsky.social opens the Global Taskforce Day, remembering us that in these difficult times, it is time to regroup, assess what works and does not around 3 axes:
1️⃣Regain trust
2️⃣Resilience
3️⃣Vision
Identify how to contribute to the peace agenda.

There is no better way to protect women rights than working at local level and not better alliance than youth and local and regional government! Privileged to have articulated the exchange between our committee and youth leaders! #listen2cities #WYDE #equality #Beijing+30
🟣 Local leaders drive gender equality by challenging biases, ensuring women’s participation, and creating safe spaces.
🙌 Feminist municipalism fights invisibility and violence, but strategies are needed to prevent gender advocacy from being dismissed as a "women’s issue."
#WYDE #Listen2Cities
We need more multilateralism, intergenerational dialogue & bigger push for public policies that can bring us closer to achieving the great targets of the #SDGs. Working on a renewed social contract that pulls us together with trust and strong institutions! We are convinced we can! @uclg.bsky.social
