High Impact Initiative on Localization

UN-Habitat, UNDP and FAO, in collaboration with several members of the Local2030 Coalition, are co-organizing a dedicated session to present the High Impact Initiative on Localization during the SDG Acceleration Day, titled "Local2030 Coalition: Pushing the Key Transitions and Achieving the SDGs by 2030". The session will take place from 11:45 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. on September 17, 2023, in Conference Room 2 of the United Nations Headquarters in New York.

The goal is to:

Mobilize global and national commitments towards supporting locally-driven actions to accelerate progress on the six transitions and achieve the SDGs by 2030.
Spotlight practices, initiatives, and solutions to enhance localized actions and lift the level of ambition on local responses to achieving the 2030 Agenda.
Leverage greater SDG financing towards the local level to scale up progress, including the availability of catalytic financing.

The SDG Acceleration Day is part of the SDG Action Weekend focusing on the High Impact Initiatives. The High Impact Initiative on Localization is one of twelve High Impact Initiatives, led by UN-system entities, that showcase select programmatic offerings and initiatives to support Member States' efforts towards just development transitions and SDG achievement. An overview of the twelve initiatives can be found on the SDG Summit website at https://www.un.org/en/sdg-summit-2023/page/transformative-action.
