The LGMA webinars
Your regular updates on the global sustainabilty agenda
The global climate and sustainability agendas are shaped all year round, and offer many opportunities to engage.
That’s why the LGMA Constituency offers monthly webinars, designed to orient subnational governments on key issues of multilevel governance and the latest developments in global climate negotiations. Here is what they bring to the table:
- Tailored content: As the LGMA focal point, Yunus Arikan, ICLEI’s Director of Global Advocacy, shares valuable insights and updates to support local governments in engaging in advocacy events throughout the year, as well as preparing for the upcoming COP29.
- Inclusivity: These discussions also include contributions from LGMA partners and relevant guests, based on the webinars’ agenda.
- Accessibility: To ensure accessibility for a wider audience, the series is tailored to offer flexibility, with two time options available each month, and complements the LGMA monthly bulletin.
The webinars are brought to you at two different times, register for the one that suits best.
What is the LGMA?
Since the Earth Summit in 1992, when nine stakeholder groups—including local authorities—were designated as essential partners in implementing the global sustainability agenda, the Local Governments and Municipal Authorities (LGMA) Constituency has represented networks of local and regional governments under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The LGMA has served as the voice of cities and regions since the first Conference of Parties (COP) in 1995 and continues to achieve advocacy success for multilevel action in the climate, nature, and desertification processes.
The LGMA works on on behalf of the Global Taskforce of Local and Regional Governments, a joint global policy advocacy initiative of the major international networks of local governments, in the area of climate.
