GSEF2021 Mexico City

5th Global Social Economy Forum GSEF2021 Mexico City 

Local Governments and Social Economy: co-creation of paths for a green and inclusive economy

Local governments play an essential role in creating ecosystems based on a more green, inclusive and sustainable economy, through a new architecture that allows, together with communities, to respond to current crises, in order to ensure equal opportunities, the protection of the environment, promote access to decent work, support social entrepreneurship and stimulate the economic proximity of local products and companies. Likewise, private, social and academic sectors are also fundamental actors for these purposes and through their practices they determine the new post-pandemic paths in order to strengthen Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) in collaboration with governments.

GSEF2021 Mexico City was held from 4th to 8th October 2021 for the first time in the GSEF history in a hybrid format almost 24 hours non-stop by providing online spaces as well as offline interaction and sharing opportunities.
