Join us to explore how leading cities are using procurement to boost local economies via enabling a green shift, producing sustainable products and services, undertaking socially responsible procurement to re-skill people to create new employment opportunities, support minority-owned SMEs, provide decent working conditions in global supply chains, and promote gender equality.
Inspiring government representatives from Malmö, Pittsburgh, Metro Vancouver, and Rio de Janeiro will share their latest stories about how to recover based on social justice, inclusion and equality to create social and ecological resilience, generate neighborhoods and establish attractive communities.
This session is supported by ICLEI’s Global Lead City Network on Sustainable Procurement and Procura+ Sustainable Procurement Network as well as the United Nations One Planet Network Sustainable Public Procurement Programme.
