During the summit, mayors from across Europe, Asia, Africa, South America and the United States will discuss how they can leverage their experience as city leaders to help shape both national and international policy on some of the most critical global challenges of the day such as migration, security and public health. The decisions the group make will be used to influence policy with international organizations such as the United Nations.
