To our Members and Partners,
We would like to thank all the participants, who participated to the 2015 Executive Bureau and Council Meetings and Conference in Wakatobi.
The event started on 5 September, with the Conference on “Local Government Voices Towards Habitat III on a New Urban Agenda”. Mayors and other representatives from around Asia-Pacific were present on the day, including the Host, Mayor Hugua, UCLG ASPAC President and Governor of Jeju Special Self-Governing Province, Mr. Won Hee-Ryong.
The aim of the Conference was to discuss and align goals and agenda in the preparations for the Habitat III Conference that will approve the New Urban Agenda for the next 20 years, and including the preparatory events leading up to it. 177 participants were present at the Conference.
The Executive Bureau and Council Meetings were held on 6 September. Various decisions have been taken. Mumbai will be the host of the first Executive Bureau Meeting in 2016. Around 80 participants were present at the Meetings.
On 7 September, as part of the Study Tour, the delegates were brought to see the locations where Wakatobi is operating its low carbon society projects in cooperation with UCLG ASPAC. The tour was followed by a trip to Hoga Island, Wakatobi National Park, where at the same time delegates had the chance to see the underwater beauty of Wakatobi by diving or snorkeling.
