A crash course to learn the key learnings and key policies embraced by local and regional governments in the new pandemic scenario. Although the main challenge relates to health care, there are other threats associated with the COVID-19 crisis that affect other parts of society. These include such areas as housing, mobility, migration, new technologies, culture and gender.
The course organized by United Cities and Local Governments, with support of the Diputació de Barcelona, and based on the Live Learning Experience #BeyondTheOutbreak sessions, launched jointly by UCLG, UN-Habitat and Metropolis, provides a global vision of the new panorama which confronts LRGs. It provides key reflections that need to be considered by all LRGs to build the foundations for a future characterized by dialogue within and between communities.
