Communiqué from the Urban 20 (U20)
Communiqué from the Urban 20 (U20) October 2, 2020, Riyadh We, the Mayors of the undersigned cities, underscoring the interconnectedness of the world and our shared future, have gathered as the Urban 20 (U20) to call on the G20 Leaders to commit to our partnership in achieving equitable, carbon-neutral, inclusive and healthy societies. Under the U20 Riyadh’s chairmanship, U20 cities built on the strong foundation of the U20 Buenos Aires and Tokyo legacies to issue this Communiqué linking to the G20 priorities under the Saudi presidency, and with contributions from evidence-based task forces and a special working group on COVID-19. The COVID-19 pandemic and the ensuing social and economic crisis make this call even more urgent as cities and metropolitan areas, that lie at the heart of the G20’s vitality, are the epicenter of the crisis. Mayors, the principal champions of our communities’ aspirations, are on the frontline to deliver on COVID-19 recovery action plans across the G20, backed by scientific knowledge, inclusively building on technological and digital breakthroughs, while acknowledging humanity’s cultural and ethnic diversity. The recovery should not be a return to business as usual. Instead, investments must improve the welfare and resilience of our cities and communities, by addressing solidarity, re-investing in public health, and mitigating future threats, like the climate crisis. Climate action and biodiversity preservation can help accelerate economic recovery and enhance equity through new technologies and the creation of green jobs. These efforts will also drive wider benefits for people and businesses. Now is the time to devise visionary multilateral solutions and strengthen policy-making that fosters inclusive, sustainable, resilient and smart urbanization, protects the rights of citizens and the foundations of local democracy, in support of prosperity and well-being framed by key global agreements.

Government Earmarks SEK 1 Million for Promotion Initiatives Swedish Music, Fashion and Digital Games Are a Few Industries That Can Promote the Image of Sweden Abroad
2010 Press release 31 August 2010 Ministry for Foreign Affairs Music and fashion to put Sweden on the map - Government earmarks SEK 1 million for promotion initiatives Swedish music, fashion and digital games are a few industries that can promote the image of Sweden abroad. They are three creative industries that have a good reputation beyond our borders, and there is a great deal of interest in them. This is why the Government is now investing even more in the experience industry, especially since we have seen that activities previously conducted abroad have generated a lot of interest and received a positive response. These investments have helped to attract more tourists to Sweden and created an interest among foreign entrepreneurs in business opportunities. Our talented songwriters, designers and others involved in the experience industry abroad have helped to put Sweden on the world map. For a small country, Sweden has a strong position as an exporter of music - we are ranked fifth after other countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom. The music business is an important part of the Swedish experience industry, which is an expanding export industry and a major growth sector. In 2009, the experience industry accounted for over 5 per cent of Sweden's GDP, and it employs 280 000 people. "We have seen that the experience industry is very important for people's image of Sweden abroad. When I'm out travelling, I often hear how people associate Sweden with Abba, Max Martin, Robyn, DICE and Odd Molly. This is why it's really important that we promote this sector, so that we can become even stronger and more talked about beyond our borders," says Minister for Trade Ewa Björling, who is responsible for promoting the image of Sweden.
