Networking
Affiliation
United Cities and Local Government has members in two-thirds of the UN member states, including over 1000 leading cities and virtually all the existing national Local Government Associations in the world. Together, its members represent over half of the world’s total population. UCLG brings together local governments from every part of the globe – from the metropolis to the small town. All members pay an annual membership fee. The membership fees for local government members take into consideration the number of inhabitants represented by the member, and the state of the country´s economic development. The UCLG Executive Bureau approves all requests for membership and ensures that the candidates meet the required conditions. The membership of United Cities and Local Governments becomes effective upon payment of membership fees. UCLG has members form over the world. Over the last years, the relative share of collected membership fees from the various regions is in line with the goals fixed in 2007 for 2018. Those goals fixed a better and more balanced geographic distribution of financial support in terms of membership fees.

Communication activities
Published every three years, GOLD reports are an important part of UCLG's quest to become an international reference point for information about local and regional governments, local democracy and decentralization worldwide (https://www.gold.uclg.org/reports#:~:text=Published%20every%20three%20years%2C%20GOLD,local%20democracy%20and%20decentralization%20worldwide)
Report to the HLPF: UCLG in collaboration with the Global Taskforce of Local and Regional Governments, which gathers the 25 main global and regional networks of local and regional governments, has developed annual reports of local and regional governments to the HLPF: ‘Towards the localization of the SDGs’. These reports, which aim to report on the state of SDG implementation at the local level around the world, have been produced and presented to the HLPF in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020,2021,2022 and 2023.(https://www.gold.uclg.org/report/localizing-sdgs-boost-monitoring-reporting) Learning publications: (https://www.learning.uclg.org/)Other activities

The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.
1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
