2. BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE

The Third World Summit of Mayors and Presidents of African Descent is preceded

by the one held in Nigeria (4th World Summit of Mayors International Conference,

February 23rd to March 4th, 2011), which was aimed at leadership as a tool for

solving development problems and Senegal (World Summit of Mayors from Africa

and the Diaspora, from the 15th to the 19th of December 2011), which focused on

HIV in urban areas, the prevention strategies and the need to end the stigma and

discrimination. In this occasion, the dimensions of Governance and Ethnicity for

Economic Development with Social Inclusion will be addressed.

World summits of African leaders have gathered an average of 500 leaders from

Africa, North America, Europe, Central and South America. Discussion topics have

been aimed at defining common positions on current issues. The purpose of these

summits is that under the principle of "think globally and act locally", cooperation is

promoted between municipalities in the development challenges faced by the

cities of the world, as a key mechanism for improving the welfare of citizens mainly

in urban areas.

The Third World Summit is endorsed by the Government of Colombia and is lead by

the National Conference for Black Mayors, NCBM, which brings together 689

mayors in the United States of America, and the Association of Afrocolombian

Mayors, Amunafro, which groups 215 mayors. The Summit seeks to Deepen political dialogue and international cooperation for the development of the

African Diaspora, generating economic, commercial, cultural, social, athletic,

academic and spiritual integration.

Presidents, mayors, governors, legislators, business men and women, academics

and representatives of civil society, among others, will attend the Summit. They will

debate, share and propose policies, strategies and actions which will guide Africa

and the African Diaspora by means of their implementation towards a more

profound insertion in economic development both globally and locally.

Colombia has the third-largest population of African descent in the Diaspora, after

Brazil and the U.S. There are over 10 million people, corresponding to 20% of the

national total, of which about 4.5 million are self-recognized as such according to

the last national census conducted in 2005. Cali, headquarters of the Summit, is

the third most important city in the country. It is estimated that over 50% of its

population is of African descent.

3. OBJECTIVE

Expanding and deepening political dialogue and international cooperation for

the development of the African people and its Diaspora, creating cultural, social,

economic, commercial, recreational, academic and spiritual integration.

4. PRODUCTS

A Declaration and an Action Plan which include:

1. A strategy for the expansion and elaboration of Political dialogue and

International Cooperation in favor of Africans and people of African Descent,

which, among other aspects contains:

a. The design and implementation of a Fund for Access to Higher

Education and Educational, Cultural, Spiritual and Athletic Exchange

among Africans and people of African Descent of the Diaspora.

b. The stimulation for the issuance of executive orders from governments

and relevant intergovernmental bodies, tending to favor, from a local

perspective, the development of Africans and people of African

Descent, including equitable access to the resources of international

cooperation, with special reference to education. (Ideally, the Summit

itself will present an Executive Order signed by Obama and other

leaders in a unified manner and / or for their own countries).

c. A strategy to promote the creation of national associations of local

leaders, from territorial entities with majority or significant black

population.

d. A strategy for promoting the exchange of good practices in the field of

political empowerment from local power.

e. The design and implementation of a Fund for Africans and people of

African Descent entrepreneurship support.

2. An Agreement of Intent to establish a network of cities for Trade and Cultural

Exchange from the local level, among people of African Descent in the

Americas, and Africa.

3. Documents declaring intent to initiate business between businessmen and

women, entrepreneurs and regions deriving from the business meetings

scheduled on the agenda of the Summit.

5. THEME

"Ethnicity Governance and Economic Development" is proposed as the central

theme of the Summit in order to articulate approaches and contents of the

following key themes throughout the Summit; they will be present in the

conference proposals, experiences and reflections from the work tables:

4.1. PUBLIC POLICY AND SOCIAL INCLUSION OF AFRICANS AND PEOPLE OF AFRICAN DESCENT.

This key theme of the Summit is intended to emphasize public policies as

instruments for social inclusion of Africans and people of African Descent. In

that sense, the Summit can address conceptual thinking and practical

experiences about inclusive policy management in educational,

occupational, economic and cultural scopes among others.

4.2.GOVERNANCE AND POLITICAL PARTICIPATION OF AFRICANS AND PEOPLE OF AFRICAN

DESCENT.

This key theme addresses ideas and success stories relating to the opportunities

in mobilization, participation and political action of Africans and people of

African Descent and their challenges.

4.3. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF AFRICANS AND PEOPLE OF AFRICAN DESCENT.

This key theme is intended to address the comparative and competitive

advantages of the territories with a majority population from Africa or of

African descent, in areas such as mining and energy development, trade,

tourism and environment, among others.

4.4.ENVIRONMENT AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF AFRICANS AND PEOPLE OF AFRICAN

DESCENT.

This key theme aims to raise the incidence of the environment in the economic

development of African and African descent communities and their global

impact, especially in relation to climate change and food security.

4.5. CULTURAL, ARTISTIC AND ATHLETIC DEVELOPMENT OF AFRICANS AND PEOPLE OF AFRICAN

DESCENT.

This key theme seeks to emphasize the strategic importance of culture and

sport in the process of ethnic and cultural affirmation and social development

of African and African descent communities. In addition, the theme aims to

build bridges of integration between Africa and the Diaspora.

4.6. INTERNATIONAL TRADE RELATIONS FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

This key theme aims to enhance trade relations between cities and territories

that benefit populations in Africa and of African Descent.

4.7.EDUCATION AND COMMUNICATION, STRUCTURAL AXES FOR THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

OF AFRICANS AND PEOPLE OF AFRICAN DESCENT.

This key theme approaches, from an ethnic perspective, the role of education

and the media in the economic development of the peoples of Africa and its

Diaspora.

6. METHODOLOGY

El evento se desarrollar mediante conferencias magistrales, paneles de

experiencias y mesas de trabajo:

The event will develop through keynote speeches, experience-sharing panels and

work tables:

5.1 KEYNOTE SPEECHES:

Two keynote speeches are proposed which will illustrate a general perspective of

the main theme of the event from highly recognized voices such as the

Interamerican Development Bank (IDB) and the Economic Commission for Latin

America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), which in turn have the opportunity to

maximize the results and commitments of the Summit.

5.2 EXPERIENCE-SHARING PANELS:

Panels are proposed for the sharing of experiences regarding the development of

Africans and people of African descent. An initial presidential level panel and

three simultaneous mayor and governor level panels. The Summit seeks to

demonstrate a diversity of experiences from Africa, USA, Latin America and the

Caribbean; from large cities to small territorial entities.

To identify the speakers specially invited to the panels, the Summit proposes

preliminary research on their experiences, which will determine the emphasis of

each one in relation to the 5 key themes and the general objective of the Summit.

Nonetheless, the following Agenda of the Summit identifies 18 preliminary speakers.

5.3 WORK TABLES

Deriving from the Keynote Speeches and the experiences presented in the panels,

work table sessions will be conducted around the 5 key themes mentioned above,

which will consolidate action proposals, conclusions and commitments of the

Summit.

For the development of the work tables, the Summit proposes inviting moderators

with training and/or experience related to each key theme; preferably ministers or

ex-ministers from Africa and of African Descent.

In the Ethnic Economy day, specialized work tables will be formed in order to

define strategies and plans of action which will favor the entrepreneurship of

Africans and people of African Descent.

ANNOUNCEMENT

Launch Resilient Communities for America campaign

Invited to Chair Campaign and have accepted invitation from ICLEI, the US Green Building Council, the World Wildlife Fund and National League of Cities

45 mayors have joined as charter members to date

PURPOSE OF NATIONAL CAMPAIGN

Mobilize mayors and county supervisors to create more resilient cities, towns, and counties

Local governments share their progress, solutions, and success stories with other local governments

Overcome extreme weather, energy and economic challenges

My role: ask Mayors to sign on and raise awareness across US

WHY CAMPAIGN CHAIR?

Cities represent 80% of population and 90% of GDP

Cities like Sacramento need significant infrastructure investment up front to protect us in future

Resiliency is another way of saying we want an insurance policy for our future

Cities need

Greater national awareness

Stronger federal and state support

More recognition

More resources and support

RESILIENCY FOR AMERICA CAMPAIGN GOALS

200 local officials sign on in first 12 months and 1,000 by 2015

Secure greater state and federal funding to support local initiatives for infrastructure and energy security

Measurably improve the resilience of all communities that participate

TIMING IMPORTANT SEVERAL REASONS

US Conference of Mayors Annual Meeting begins this week

Just elected President of National Conference of Black Mayors

Mayor Bloomberg released comprehensive report on cost to make NYC more resilient

State of California will be releasing a Climate Adaptation Strategy

Sacramentos future will be impacted by the Water Resources Development Act currently in Congress

USCM LEADERSHIP

This week, I will be sworn in as 1st Vice President of US Conference of Mayors at Annual Meeting

Priorities include public safety, education, green and strengthening cities through infrastructure investment

Co-sponsored resolution with Mayor Cownie of Des Moines, Iowa who faces same challenges as Sacramento with flood and drought risks

Supporting and Advancing Resilient Communities considered by membership on June 24th

NATIONAL CONFERENCE OF BLACK MAYORS

Will also be able to make this a priority among colleagues at NCBM

Critical funding for infrastructure in cities is needed

MAYOR BLOOMBERG: NYC: A STRONGER, MORE RESILIENT NEW YORK

Commend the Mayor for his vision and public engagement campaign after Hurricane Sandy

Response to 43 deaths and $19 billion in damage from the superstorm

Great plan to move forward and protect New York

Cost is $20 billion; equal to cost of damage just from Hurricane Sandy and will be well worth the investment, plus projects create jobs

STATE OF CALIFORNIA

State is developing Climate Adaptation Strategy for release in 2013

State has always been leader in environmental policy and this is no exception

Regions across state are supporting this work and are meeting at Greenwise offices today to formalize support

Reps from San Diego, LA, the Bay Area and our own Sacramento collaborative taking time from their conference at Greenwise to join me for this launch

SACRAMENTO RESILIENCE

When I became Mayor, one of first issues I was briefed on was risk of flooding in our Natomas area.

Sacramento also at risk for:

Extreme heat

Drought - Decrease in Sierra Nevada snowpack by 2100 and we are at just 20% of normal this year

Wildfire dry conditions and heat

Agriculture we will see changes to our ag economy from heat and drought

Also economic opportunity. Projects like flood walls and building retrofits create jobs. There is a job creation aspect here

Cost of no action will be much greater than cost of investment upfront as insurance policy

INTRODUCE VICE MAYOR ASHBY

Fortunate to have a Natomas representative who is fierce in her advocacy for resources to protect the 100,000 residents and $8 billion in property in Natomas

Vice Mayor Ashby speak to your efforts with making Natomas more resilient and the status of key federal legislation

THANK YOU, VICE MAYOR ASHBY

INTRODUCE SAFCA EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR RICHARD JOHNSON

Sacramento fortunate to have partners that collaborate to make Sacramento safer

One of those partners is the Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency

Joining us to reinforce collaboration is key

THANK YOU, RICHARD

CLOSING

Top priority as Mayor and for mayors across country is public safety

Call to action to mayors to take action and make cities more resilient

Need funding, need to work with partners, need to plan ahead

This is our chance to once again prove that sound environmental policy can be sound economic policy

Look forward to leading the Resilient Communities for America campaign and working with our countrys mayors to make our cities safer

Resilient Communities for America Campaign

What is the Resilient Communities for America campaign?Resilient Communities for America is a national campaign that will mobilize hundreds of U.S. local elected officialsmayors, county executives, city council members, etc.who pledge to create more resilient cities, towns, and counties, built to over-come our nations extreme weather, energy, and economic challenges. The campaign will not only inspire greater local leader-ship on resilience, but also will provide local governments that join the campaign with critical resources to help them achieve their goals.

The centerpiece of the campaign is the Resilient Communities for America Agreement, a document that local elected officials will sign to formalize their commitment and showcase their leadership.

Why is community resilience of urgent national importance?Improving resilienceour ability to bounce backis a critical issue for America, and mayors and county officials must take the lead. Communities around the country are on the front lines of four closely related challenges:1. Extreme weather: Record-breaking and destructive extreme weather fueled by a changing climate cost us $110 billion in

2012 with 11 disasters that brough $1 billion or more in damages, following a record 14 major disasters in 2011.2. Energy security: A power grid taxed by hotter temperatures, energy sources whose carbon emissions exacerbate climate

change, and reliance on costly foreign energy all weaken our resilience.3. Faltering infrastructure: Aging and unreliable infrastructure (water, energy, transportation, etc.) is further stressed by

extreme weather and energy challenges.4. Economic uncertainty: Ongoing economic uncertainty has left millions out of work and communities starved for

investment; disasters, extreme weather, and energy disruptions further hamper our recovery.

FAQ:

What is the Resilient Communities for America campaign? Why is community resilience of urgent national importance? Why is a leadership campaign like this necessary? What organizations are coordinating the campaign? What are the campaigns goals? What commitments does the campaign seek? What benefits does the campaign provide to local governments? Who can sign the Agreement? What actions can a local government take to create a more

resilient community? There are a number of emerging resilience initiatives for cities

and local governments. How is this one different? What is the Resilient Communities for America Online

Platform?

www.resilientamerica.org

Our safety, security, and economic prosperity are in jeopardy if we do not prepare for these challenges.

Local governments have long been the leaders on climate action and sustainability, and they have the ability to take effective, wide-ranging local actions to prepare for climate change impacts, improve local energy independence, renew Americas infra-structure, and strengthen their economies in the process.

Why is a leadership campaign like this necessary? Because action on resilience begins with a leadership commitment.

The campaign will act as a strong starting point for local governments beginning resilience work, and serve as a re-affir-mation of leadership for more advanced cities and counties. For all local governments, making a leadership commitment through the campaign can help them secure funding and attract investment to resilience-related projects.

Because we need greater national awareness. As our extreme weather, infrastructure, and energy challenges grow, there is a pressing need to raise awareness among local governments about the nature of these threats (and their link to climate change)and that local governments can lead on effective solutions. The campaign will create this awareness, among both local governments and the public.

Because local governments need stronger federal and state support. Local governments must more effectively advocate for federal and state support of local resilience and preparedness initia-tives, and infrastructure renewal projects. Through a multi-year campaign, there will be opportunities for hundreds of local governments to come together and speak with one voice to draw national attention.

Because local governments deserve more recognition. Local governments deserve more recognition for their work and leadership on resilience-related topics: climate mitigation and adaptation, renewable energy, disaster preparedness. Existing leaders can inspire new local governments to take action, and the campaign will foster greater recognition and media attention.

Because local governments need more resources and support. There is a need to accelerate learning, sharing, and progress among local governments on cutting-edge resilience topics. The

campaign will provide critical resources to local governments, and facilitate opportunities for knowledge sharing and training.

What organizations are coordinating the campaign?Four major organizations each share the goal of driving this broad leadership movement on community resilience: ICLEILocal Governments for Sustainability, the National League of Cities, the U.S. Green Building Council and the World Wildlife Fund. After hearing from their memberships that local resilience was a key priority, they have joined together to create and drive Resilient Com-munities for America. The campaign is intended to be an inclusive initiative under which additional non-profit organizations, public agencies, and private companies can become partners and offer their own resources and expertise to advance community resilience.

Mayor Kevin Johnson of Sacramento, CA, serves as the Chair of the Resilient Communities for America campaign.

A campaign Advisory Committee of local government staff and experts from the academic community and private sector will provide input and direction on the campaign to ensure that it meets the needs of cities and counties and reflects the most con-temporary thinking and practice in the field.

What are the campaigns goals? Secure a leadership commitment to address community resilience from 200 local elected official signatories in the first 12

months after the campaign launches in June 2013, and 1,000 by 2015. Secure greater state and federal funding, support, and collaboration with local governments to support local initiatives on

resilience and preparedness, infrastructure renewal, and energy security. Measurably improve the resilience of all communities that participate in the campaign.

What commitments does the campaign seek?The Agreement letter specifies two separate commitments:

1. Local elected officials commit their city or county to taking action to improve resilience. But since the resilience needs of communities vary greatly from place to place, there are no one-size-fits-all goals or targets for the campaign. This means that each local government decides for itself what its goals and initiatives should be, based on local circumstances. For some cities and counties, the campaigns commitment is a way to showcase existing goals and plans around climate action, renewable energy, or infrastructure, while for others it is an opportunity to redouble efforts and become more ambitious.

2. Local governments agree to share their progress, solutions, and success stories with other local governments. The campaign is intended to help cities and counties learn from one another to scale the best solutions and innovations quickly. To accomplish this, local government staff will be asked to share their stories annually through the Resilient Communities for America Online Platform.

Additionally, the Agreement calls on state and federal leaders to support local resilience initiatives and take their own actions to improve resilience.

What benefits does the campaign provide to local governments?1. Leadership recognition.The campaign is a prominent platform for elected officials to showcase their leadership on the national stage. Mayors and county officials from across the country who sign the Agreement will be identified by the media, the public, and environmental stake-holders as the leaders and innovators on the emerging national issue of resilience.

Through the campaign, ICLEI and its coalition of partner organizations will offer ample opportunities for cities and counties to receive recognition and media attention for their resilience-related accomplishments and news announcements.

2. Technical resources.As the campaign gets underway, signatory local governments will be able to access critical resources at no cost, designed to help them achieve their resilience goals. First among these will be an online community where local officials can find and collaborate with their peers with similar goals and needs, access technical assistance, and find resources.

Tools and resources will be provided to signatory communities by ICLEI and other campaign partners. These will include guide-books and case studies, exclusive webinar trainings, software tools, and an online answers network to ask questions and receive technical support. Over time, the power of a highly visible movement of local leaders is likely to lead to additional opportunities, and as this multiyear campaign evolves, so will the offerings to local government signatories.

Who can sign the Agreement?Any U.S. local elected official can sign: mayors, city council members, county board supervisors, etc. They can sign to express their personal commitment or their full local governments. Any local government that has an elected official Signatory will be entitled to access campaign resources.

While only active local elected officials can become Signatories, other individuals (current and former governors and Congressio-nal representatives, former local elected officials, federal agency leaders, etc.) and organizations can support the objectives of the Agreement by becoming Endorsers.

What actions can a local government take to create a more resilient community?The Agreement letter includes a paths to resilience section that suggests some of the most effective and important actions to improve community resilience. The main categories of actions include climate preparedness, energy security, infrastructure renewal, and economic prosperity. Some of the most cost-effective initiatives have multiple benefits: by expanding renewable energy, for example, a city can increase its energy independence, create local jobs, reduce carbon emissions, and lessen the vulner-ability of the electric grid during heat waves.

There are a number of emerging resilience initiatives for cities and local govern-ments. How is this one different?Resilient Communities for America is the only U.S. resilience initiative that seeks to build a broad new movement encompass-ing hundreds of local governments and their elected officials, from small towns and rural counties to large cities. While some resilience programs or campaigns focus only on large or leading cities, the campaign will cultivate leadership, commitment, and action from the widest range of local governments, in terms of size, geography, and progress. The campaign is a strong comple-ment (not a replacement or alternative) to other resilience initiatives and programs, including contests and challenges. It seeks to facilitate the delivery of existing tools and resources to local governments through wide-ranging partnerships.

What is the Resilient Communities for America Online Platform?The online platform is the place where campaign participants will access free resources and share their progress and success sto-ries. Participants will log in to the online community from the campaign website. Once inside, they will access a variety of social networking features and technical content, such as on-demand trainings, a resource library, and an Answers Network, where they can ask technical questions and receive answers from other local governments, ICLEI staff, and other thought leaders. The online platform will also feature public city and county profile pages that showcase a local governments climate and energy goals, progress, and accomplishments.

The online platform is currently in initial development, and modules of the platform will roll out in phases beginning in

fall 2013.
