As global risks increasingly impact local communities, mayors, governors, and city leaders are becoming key players in international affairs. Leading communities worldwide are developing strategic global partnerships that deliver measurable benefits at home: economic development, foreign investment, policy innovation, and collaborative solutions to shared challenges.
