The closing day of the 2022 UCLG Retreat was marked by the start of the conflict in Ukraine. It gathered the UCLG Presidency and saw the adoption, by consensus, of a statement by the World Organization. The statement condemned the military attacks and sent a message of solidarity and support to the Ukrainian and Russian citizens.
Building on the legacy of our movement, UCLG is committed to continue fostering dialogue among peoples & the spheres of government it represents. To strengthen the multilateral system, promote the respect for international law & open pathways of dialogue among all stakeholders.
The UCLG Municipal Peace Talks is an initiative that will set the ground for local to local dialogue beyond the current conflict & addressing also the urgent issues around the role of local governments in the context of humanitarian emergencies.
