As an official side event of the 2019 European Week of Regions and Cities (EWRC), this EUKN Conference explored two of its guiding topics – a greener Europe and a Europe closer to citizens – through the acquis of the ‘green’ Partnerships of the Urban Agenda for the EU (UAEU).
In keynote speeches and Working Group sessions, participants discussed three main issues:
- What is the role of cities and citizens in implementing sustainability policies?
- How can the “green” Partnerships of the UAEU contribute to bringing sustainability closer to citizens?
- How can key political stakeholders support the implementation of the Actions proposed by the Partnerships?
The event concluded with a political panel debate, during which Members of the European Parliament, mayors, aldermen and senior experts discussed how politicians and decision-makers could take on board the actions proposed by the UAEU Partnerships.
