🟣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. www.thenewbarcelonapost.com/barcelona-y-...

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

We need more multilateralism, intergenerational dialogue & bigger push for public policies that can bring us closer to achieving the great targets of the #SDGs.
