On 13 May 2025, Regions4 hosted a Community of Practice session on Localising Finance, Accelerating Change: Regions Driving Finance for the SDGs. The session explored the role of regional governments in localising finance for sustainable development, with insights from Andalucía, the Basque Country, Gauteng, Manabí, Rio de Janeiro, and guest region Île-de-France. UN-Habitat and the Local2030 Coalition contributed perspectives from partner UN entities.
Key messages will feed into the 4th Finance for Development Conference in Seville and inform the upcoming Regions4SDGs Framework, to be presented at the 2025 High-Level Political Forum.
Supported by the Founding Partners of the Regions4SDGs initiative: Gauteng, Lombardy, Rio de Janeiro, and Wales..
