The session aims to reveal the importance of localization of SDGs and Voluntary Local Reviews(VLRs) on achieving global goals. Gathering policy makers, it will address the motivation behind cities’ VLR preparation, how these reports contribute to local and national policy making processes and how to ensure coherence between VLRs and Voluntary National Reviews (VNRs). Besides, cities’ works on SDGs will be shared and how the COVID-19 pandemic affect their works will be discussed.
