They do so largely for economic opportunities and actively contribute to their local communities as employees, small business owners, and taxpayers. Cities can also present risks for refugees, internally displaced, and stateless people, as they have limited material and financial resources, tend to work in the informal employment sector, and are without established social networks. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Cities continue to show their commitment to the world\u2019s forcibly displaced people. Cities find innovative and pragmatic solutions to expanding local services to accommodate newcomers, including providing information about services in multiple languages and providing temporary documentation.<\/span><\/p>\n The <\/span>Call to Local Action<\/span><\/i> invites cities to pledge their concrete inclusion initiatives toward the Global Compacts on Refugees (GCR) and Migration (GCM), providing them with technical and other forms of support. Examples include the opportunity for knowledge exchange and the online course being launched at the UCLG World Congress in Daejeon, South Korea from 10-14 October 2022.
