The 12th European Urban Resilience Forum will take place on 25-27 June in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. This year’s edition will focus on accelerating resilience action. Co-organised by Regions4Climate – RESIST’s sister project – EURESFO is a relevant event for RESIST as it brings together key stakeholders for our project.
For more than a decade, the European Urban Resilience Forum has been a key European initiative in the field of resilience. Organised by ICLEI and the European Environment Agency (EEA), EURESFO acts as a unique exchange platform, bringing together city representatives, experts and stakeholders from local and regional institutions to discuss strategies, initiatives and actions related to climate change adaptation, disaster management and building urban resilience.
As always, EURESFO 2025 will maintain its characteristically informative, open and interactive atmosphere, as well as its ‘no PowerPoint’ format. Participants are enthusiastically invited to share their experiences and perspectives on a range of topics that explore the challenges of planning and implementing urban resilience.
Target Audience: Resilience-makers, Resilience innovators, Resilience providers, and Resilience supporters.
