Action Plan
A Plan for the City, the People and the Planet
Mission
The BCN Action Plan aims to transform Barcelona into a global centre of reference in civil and social rights. Thanks to a partnership between Barcelona’s public, private and policy sectors, incentives are being developed in order to attract to Barcelona the world’s leading organisations, foundations, think tanks and professionals working on these topics.
Vision
We have four operational pillars:
A benchmark mapping and one-year consultation process with Barcelona’s key stakeholders revealed a strongly shared conviction about Barcelona’s potential to become a leading hub of international policy work. The consultation process culminated in the creation of the BCN International Policy Sector Action Plan (BCN Action Plan). Ratified and endorsed by more than 30 of Barcelona’s most prominent international policy groups, the plan was launched at a high-profile signature ceremony in 2015.
360-degree partnership across the city’s public, private and policy sectors.
Concrete incentives to attract leading international policy actors to transfer some or all of their global operations to Barcelona.
A global "call for applications" in order to create a special opportunity for leading international actors to consider a move to Barcelona.
An independent and technically-specialised secretariat to guide the successful implementation of the Action Plan.
