The participation of UCLG (United Cities and Local Governments) at SUM Bilbao 21 falls into the need for cities to lead public-private dialogue on mobility in order to create synergies between the different stakeholders so as to move from commitment to action. Therefore, UCLG will attend the Congress as a Lead Partner.
UCLG is the world organisation of local and regional governments and their associations, representing and defending their interests on the world stage. Its participation is very relevant, not only because its members represent more than 70% of the population, but because it is an organisation that is committed to dialogue, local democracy, decentralized cooperation and the exchange of knowledge in spaces such as SUM Bilbao 21, to make progress on meeting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and providing access to all citizens to basic services, such as mobility and energy.
