Tools that create behavior change and shift “business as usual” so cities meet their ambitions. 3. Processes that leverage private sector; other partners; citizens. 4. Measuring SDG-sensitivity of each new decision – the discipline of timebound outcome targets, interdependence. 5. Progress reporting that is transparent and honest. 6. Connecting local to global (networks). Shift from learning to action – what are concrete big bets?

8 Re c o ve ry p ri n c i ples fro m th e C 40 pl e d ge The recovery must address issues of equity . Can’t return to ‘business as usual’ on climate change mitigation. Climate action can help accelerate economic recovery and enhance social equity. Increase public services, public investment and community resilience . Recovery guided by an adherence to public health and scientific expertise. Use the collective voices and individual actions of cities to influence national governments.
9 T h e UC LG “ De c alogue” fo r re c o ve ry The Local 2030 principles and the SDGs remain a reference to frame the transformational measures. Protect Public Services provision. Proximity models of global consumption and production. The economy restart should do not undermine environmental concerns . Democracy, privacy and civil liberties should not be sacrificed. Care for public servants and public service providers. Generation Equality. An international system built on the force of cities. Culture as an antidote for the secondary effects.
