Local Leadership Initiative

The Local Leadership Initiative forms part of the overall Urban-­LEDS project and specifically focuses on the mayors of these seven municipalities to provide them with an opportunity to connect and interact informally with each other, while encouraging positive change through pro-­‐active leadership in their homes and local communities.

Over the next 7 months the 7 mayors from the 7 municipalities will be participating in a leadership programme, which aims to provide them with an opportunity to connect and interact informally with each other and encourage positive change.

The main focus is on what it means to be a leader in the urban context, unpacking the requirements for implementing sustainability and low emissions development strategies. The objective is to inspire the transformation of leadership for sustainability.
