LOCAL ACTION 2030: LOCALIZE SDGS AND THE NEW URBAN AGENDA – HOW UCLG and UCLG ASPAC WORK Dr. Bernadia Irawati Tjandradewi Secretary General, UCLG ASPAC Presented at the Asia-Pacific Conference on Localising SDGs 25 -26 October 2017, Penang, Malaysia

Recall: September 2015 the United Nations adopted 17 SDGs with 169 targets in the 2030 Agenda. The SDGs : - were built on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) - are an integrated system - are universal and apply to all countries After Nations adopted the 2030 Agenda : - Nations are currently developing their own Agendas based on the SDGs - Local governments have to be included in National strategies and align the SDGs with their own strategies. - SDG Make the world a better place for 2030

Localizing is a bottom-up process. The UCLG networks already playing a vital role in the localization of the major world sustainability agendas.

Localizing is a political process based on harnessing local opportunities, priorities and ideas. Localizing is implementing local agendas in cities and territories to reach local and global goals. Local democracy and local leadership are vital tools to drive forward local agendas in a way that is rooted in the cultural, economic, environmental and economic realities of each territory.

World Assembly of Local & Regional Governments (Quito, 2016) Advocate for increased national and international support for, and recognition of, local and regional governments in the achievement of the agendas.

What We Do at the Global Level (HABITAT III) Advocating for A single, universal agenda Specific links and synergies should be sought with Goal 11 of the 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Cities and Human Settlements in terms of financing, and monitoring. The GTF is underlining that the New Urban Agenda must keep in mind other relevant international agendas adopted in recent months, particularly the 2030 Agenda and the Paris Climate Agreement. Local governments should not be faced with the task of interpreting and implementing the unclear priorities and mechanisms of multiple, conflicting international commitments and recommendations. Para 8: World Assembly of Local and Regional Governments Para 169: Calls for continued collaboration with the World Assembly in follow-up and review of NUA

Raise-awareness of the global goals among local governments, bring local monitoring and reporting information to global fora.

Any agenda that is not rooted in the realities of each territory will not be sustainable over the long term. SDG 11 SDG 8 SDG 11 SDG 9 Facilitate learning and exchange among local governments, and identify and highlight successful implementation efforts at local level. SDG 11 SDG 16 SDG 10

We synchronize our existing activities in four areas to maximize the impact of the network on the localization and achievement of the global agendas.

Local and regional government members of the UCLG network are on the front line of the implementation of the global agendas. They are identifying local priorities, testing new policies, learning from them and improving them, and thereby contributing to the achievement of global goals. National associations can play an important role in highlighting this work and in identifying links between local action and global goals.

Bojonegoro tries to analyze the baseline data & correspond global situation & compare with past conditions

Localizing SDGs: The Case of Bojonegoro, Indonesia Challenges faced? 1) The central government is less quick to respond by not immediately issuing relevant legislation including an action plan and variable ratified; 2) Not to appear integrated in the planning of the central government set up in Budget 2017; 3) An understanding of the SDGs is still limited to certain groups, can not be understood broadly, so it needs more precise Dissemination involving government, community, scientists and entrepreneurs (business).

UCLG ASPAC SDGs Localisation Program Component: Localization SDGs Training for Local Governments and their Associations to support implementation. Component 2: City/Public Diplomacy Capacity development for Local Government officials to strengthen their role in foreign cooperation. Component 3: Project Demonstration and Knowledge Management Knowledge exchange, sharing experience and maintain data and information on SDGs best practices and innovation.

Conclusion The most critical factors to empower local actions for the SDG üGood enabling environment, including decentralization üGood government that entails active participation from various stakeholder üClear roadmap of SDGs of Local Government üRoad Map Development is Key to Keep Progress in Track Regional organizations are useful for cities to get international standards and partners outside their countries Localizing Global Agendas could be easier with peer-topeer learning Knowledge sharing Requirements to and city-to-city replicate and up-scale collaboration successful practices üStrong commitment from contribution the local leader üClear policy and regulation on implementation including funding mechanism üImproving soft skills through the LG Association üImproving thematic issue understanding through the cities
