ICLEI & Resilient Cities Catalyst – Cities Forward Initiative (2023–2025)

The project supported the development of local resilience action plans for eight cities across Latin America as part of the Cities Forward LATAM initiative. Led by ICLEI South America in partnership with the U.S. Department of State, Resilient Cities Catalyst, and the Institute of the Americas, the initiative aimed to strengthen local capacities to address complex urban challenges. It connected cities across the region with technical expertise, international cooperation, and strategic planning tools to foster more resilient, sustainable, and future-ready territories.

OCD–EU–LAC – Rethinking Decentralised Cooperation in a Context of Multiple Transitions (2022–2023)

The project involved the preparation of the background paper and study Rethinking Decentralised Cooperation in a Context of Multiple Transitions, building on the discussions and outcomes of the 8th Conference of the European Union–Latin America Decentralised Cooperation Observatory, held in Barcelona. The study synthesised key insights, identified emerging trends, and provided a strategic perspective on the role of decentralised cooperation in addressing challenges such as climate change, urban resilience, and the social, institutional, and territorial transformations affecting cities and regions.
