SURE at EU Week of Regions and Cities

11:30-13:00 CEST

#EURegionsWeek

The METREX SURE Eurodelta Network hosted a special event at the European Week of Regions and Cities.

EN-Achieving green transition in the megaregion Eurodelta-14WS21709 from EURegionsWeek on Vimeo.

The megaregion is key to localising the European Green Deal and achieving the EU’s ambitions to become a neutral-climate continent. The workshop by the SURE-Eurodelta Network focused on presenting concrete spatial and policy-oriented actions, especially in the field of sustainable transport infrastructure and mobility. The SURE partners from four countries showcased their best practices in response to European Green Deal.

Additionally, the outcomes and recommendations from the ESPON STISE Research were presented, as well as the bright ideas from the Eurodelta Knowledge Platform.

A discussion took place on the added value for the European Member States and other megaregions, in terms of supporting cross-border cooperation. Various stakeholders addressed their challenges and impacts with green transition plans. The aim was to create a sustainable, green, just, productive delta region.
