The 12th Mayors for Peace Executive Conference was held online on 7 July and 18 Executive Cities attended. The Executive Conference adopted the new Vision, subsequent to the 2020 Vision, and the Action Plan.
The new Vision and Action Plan were originally planned to be adopted at the General Conference in August 2020, however, the General Conference was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
With the end of the 2020 Vision at the end of the year 2020, and the growing momentum for the abolition of nuclear weapons with the entry into force of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons in January 2021 in mind, the new Vision and Action Plan were instead adopted at the 12th Executive Conference held online.
