This report is the result of an inspiring collaboration between United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG), Sciences Po, and a group of engaged students who have dedicated their Capstone project to exploring the intersection of local care systems and youth participation. This work responds to one of the core missions of UCLG: to advance democratic local self-government, social inclusion, equality, and care through the empowerment of local and regional governments and their communities worldwide.  
  
At a time when local and regional governments are confronted with overlapping global crises — from climate change and inequality to democratic backsliding — care has emerged not only as a core function of public service, but as a lens through which we must reimagine governance itself. Care-centered governance calls for inclusive policies, shared responsibility, and deeper social cohesion. Meaningfully engaging youth in these processes is not optional — it is essential. Their energy, ideas, and lived experiences are vital to shaping local care systems that are equitable, resilient, and forward-looking.  
  
Making this a reality requires a mindshift. Local governments must go beyond viewing young people as future leaders, and embrace the principle that youth are needed now. This requires investing in intergenerational governance and embedding youth participation structurally across local institutions and public policies. It also requires ensuring that participation is not episodic, but continuous and empowering for the youth — rooted in collective memory, adaptive systems, and sustained political will.
