Global challenges need strong local answers

In addition to our mission to build a better Europe through effective multilevel governance, CEMR has been fiercely dedicated to advancing the global municipalism movement since its creation in 1951. As the European section of United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG)—the global organization representing Local and Regional Governments—we are committed to ensuring that European municipalities and regions maintain a strong and influential voice on the global stage.

On the world stage

Through UCLG, CEMR contributes to global debates on sustainable urban development, climate action, social inclusion, and democratic governance. Our work within this global organisation enables us to share European perspectives, influence international policies, and foster collaboration across continents. By connecting European Local and Regional Governments with their counterparts worldwide, we help promote innovation, share best practices, and build resilient communities that can meet future challenges.  CEMR’s partnership with UCLG underscores our belief in the importance of global solidarity and cooperation. Together, we strive to create a world where Local Governments are empowered to drive positive change, ensuring that the voices of cities and regions are heard and respected at every level of governance.
