🇱🇻 On the Independence Day of Lavia, we're excited to launch, our Bridges of Trust: Overview and Interview series, offering insights into three partnerships between Latvian and Ukrainian municipalities. This series features interviews with Latvian mayors and explores the progress and impact of these collaborations. Since 2021, CEMR has been implementing the #BridgesofTrust project in partnership with the Association of Ukrainian Cities (AUC) and national associations across the EU, with support from the U-LEAD with Europe . This initiative brings together municipalities from the EU and Ukraine to tackle challenges, including reconstruction, economic recovery, and institutional modernisation in Ukraine. By fostering mutual understanding and collaboration, these efforts also support Ukraine’s path towards EU integration. Today, we begin with the partnership between Gulbene (Latvia) and Korop (Ukraine). Next week, we’ll introduce another inspiring story from the series! Our gratitude goes to the representatives of Gulbene Caunītis Andis and Guna Švika , and to Agita Kaupuza from the Latvian Association of Municipalities for coordinating this work, as well as to everyone contributing to the interviews in the weeks ahead. 📌 You can find this series on our website here: https://lnkd.in/dWGuiqkTJoin us next week for another Bridges of Trust highlight! 💡Léa Hetz Stanislav T.

As COP29 unfolds in Baku, CEMR and PLATFORMA are advocating for stronger involvement of Local and Regional Governments (LRGs) in global climate action. Representing cities and regions, they stress that local leaders are vital partners in shaping sustainable policies.Clifford Galea Vella, President of Reġjun Tramuntana (Malta) and member of the CEMR & PLATFORMA Young Elected Officials Committee (YEOC), highlights: “Climate change impacts every hashtag#SDG, from zero hunger to clean energy. We don’t have the luxury of time,” Clifford notes, emphasising the need to recognise LRGs’ leadership. Why do local and regional governments matter at COP29? 🎯 Impact: LRGs manage 68% of public investments in climate and energy, uniquely positioning them to address local needs and build community resilience. 🏛 Multi-Level Governance: Including LRGs in governance ensures more effective climate policies. ✅ Capacity and Cooperation: Tailored solutions backed by resources and partnerships are key to achieve the net-zero targets.
