The World Summit of Local and Regional Leaders and World Congress is the largest gathering of mayors, presidents of associations, local elected officers, and practitioners from around the world. Convened by United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG) and for the first-time hybrid, it also gathers critical partners and the international system driving forward the decision making of city and community life. In 2022, we will embrace new possibilities to open up to audiences beyond the city of Daejeon, to be all together in every way we can while bringing in the Korean perspective on key issues of the international agenda.

The Daejeon Experience
The 2022 World Summit and Congress takes place in Daejeon, the central city of Korea and a municipality where culture and arts flourish thanks to a combination of tradition and modernity. This mixed nature, combined with its leading science and technology industry and the quality of its public services and the vibrant presence of nature within and surrounding the city, makes Daejeon an exciting and all-encompassing experience.

Today more than ever, Local and Regional Governments must have a voice!
|
|
The global impacts the local and the local shapes the global. It is at times when we feel most vulnerable and unprotected that the capacity, values and limits of our communities are tested. And it is in these circumstances that local and regional governments have been, and continue to be, at the forefront of efforts to move forward together, ensuring the provision of public services, guaranteeing rights, and fostering inclusive, caring, just and egalitarian ways of living.
