The OECD Centre for Entrepreneurship, SMEs, Regions and Cities (CFE) and the County of Viken, Norway are pleased to invite you to the 3rd OECD Roundtable on Cities and Regions for the SDGs. 
Building on the results of the 1st and 2nd Roundtable, this 3rd edition will bring together key stakeholders from cities, regions, national governments, the private sector, civil society, academia, philanthropy and international organisations to:

  • Reaffirm the relevance of the SDGs in the COVID-19 recovery phase through the voice of political leaders and leading international experts
  • Understand how the SDGs can help cities and regions shape and implement COVID-19 recovery strategies by sharing lessons and showcasing successful experiences
  • Take stock of what’s working in the programme’s pilots Bonn (Germany), Kitakyushu (Japan), Córdoba (Argentina), Flanders (Belgium), Southern Denmark (Denmark), Viken (Norway), Kópavogur (Iceland), Parana (Brazil) and Moscow (Russian Federation) to accelerate progress in the Decade of Action
  • Launch a number of OECD reports of the pilots of the programme and chart the way forward to implement the recommendations on the ground
  • Coordinate Voluntary Local Reviews with Voluntary National Reviews to strengthen the multi-level governance of the SDGs
  • Harmonise SDGs measurement frameworks for cities and regions, building on the OECD localised indicator framework that measures the distance of more than 600 regions and 600 cities to the SDG target
