Historic moment in Nancy! 🇫🇷 Mayors from around the world have officially adopted the Nancy Declaration.
The message is clear:
👉 Recognise cities as vital partners
👉 Strengthen local democratic & ecological resilience
👉 Support urban capacity close to citizens
In Nancy today for Urban7, where local and regional governments are making a stronger contribution to global decision-making than ever before. The commitments made at #WUF13 remind us that housing and climate action are local issues and local leaders are central to the solutions.
