To support UBC SCC activities, strengthen cooperation with UBC member cities and better support them in their sustainable development, the UBC SCC has established an Advisory Board consisting of three co-chairpersons as well as experts from UBC member cities, altogether representing at least 10 member cities. The Advisory Board meetings are organised four times a year.

The role of the Advisory Board Members is to support the UBC Sustainable Cities Commission and the Secretariat in its actions by bringing national and local topic-related expertise and recommendations in project-related activities (climate change, water, mobility, energy, biodiversity, resource efficiency). This is achieved e.g. through support in finding important themes and topics for the Sustainable Cities Bulletin and UBC Sustainable Cities Commission meetings, by proposing project themes and commenting on relevant policy aspects.
