I contributed towards a survey on city-led initiatives and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 2015-2030. The results of the Devex survey have been published in May 2021 in a special report called Cities Can: Accelerating progress toward the SDGs through city-led initiatives.
The report details the importance of city-led initiatives using data-driven approaches to understanding the local on-the-ground needs, and leveraging local expertise. It also examines working across sectors in a whole-of-system approach to city-led initiatives.
The Cities Can report provides 5 case studies: (1) Harnessing data in multidisciplinary health care, (2) Co-creating safe, inclusive public spaces with Minecraft, (3) Coordinating multiple stakeholders through local champions, (4) Peer-to-peer learning and resilient food systems, and (5) Building long-term results and global impact for climate action and sustainable development.
