There is need to articulate global local government’s contribution towards attaining the objective of transforming our planet by creating prosperity and peace through partnership with international multi-lateral organisation. 
With our active participation internationally we recognise that  the achievement of the Global Goals is impossible without proper enabling environments that allow for the local governments and respective communities to be full partners in, both, policy development and implementation".  
Parks Tau, President of UCLG
