Sumario:To study the role of local authorities in the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda, this article analysed the Global Taskforce of Local and Regional Governments declarations and reports regarding the localization of the global goals to the High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development. The study was qualitative and consisted of an extensive bibliographical review and documentary analysis. By establishing a nexus between subnational government and sustainable development, I addressed the role of local authorities as one of the Major Groups of the multi stakeholder dialogues sponsored by the United Nations. Then, I identified and analysed issues and arguments, strategies and local contributions that the Global Taskforce had stated at the Forum’s sessions from 2020 to 2023. The findings show that the Global Taskforce had an active presence and constantly advocated for a revamped multilateralism acknowledging local authorities’ voices at the global level and fully engaging them in decision making processes. By having access to the Forum and using its abilities to empower its members and advocate for their interests, it established a local/territorial-global movement for the localization of Sustainable Development Goals, institutionalized the presence of local and regional governments, and strengthened the idea of local authorities as key agents of the global goals. This article outlines the importance of subnational governments’ agency and city networks’ performance in policy instruments and policy frameworks in the field of sustainable development.
