The 2024 edition of EURESFO will be built around three key thematic streams and a fourth special thematic stream, each addressing crucial aspects of resilience, sustainable development, and recovery. The first stream will focus on multilevel governance, cooperation, and the imperative of a just transition. The second thematic stream will delve into water resilience and the promotion of the Blue Economy within and beyond the Mediterranean region. The third stream will aim at enabling the transformation towards resilient, adaptive, and climate-neutral cities and regions. The fourth special stream will concentrate on building resilience in fragile settings and bridging the gap between Humanitarian Response to Post-conflict Resilience and Recovery.
The 2024 edition of the European Urban Resilience Forum will take place in the framework of the Valencia Cities Climate Week, together with the Cities Mission Conference and the Energy Cities' Annual Forum, hosted by the city as part of the Valencia EU Green Capital 2024 celebrations. This collaboration will present a unique opportunity to bring together representatives of cities and regions from across Europe to discuss challenges and opportunities for strengthening resilience in the wider context of sustainable urban development.
