European Urban Resilience Forum 2026

EURESFO 2026 will continue with its characteristic informative, open, and interactive ambiance, upholding its ‘PowerPoint free’ format. Participants are enthusiastically invited to share their experiences and perspectives on an array of topics that delve into the challenges inherent in urban resilience planning and implementation.

EURESFO26 will be focused on these four thematic streams

• People at the centre: Just resilience, housing, democracy

• Strengthening the governance of resilience: unpacking regulation for local action and leveraging policy insights from the ground
• Managing climate extremes in a place-sensitive way: holistic and landscape approaches for rural and local resilience
• The tools we need: innovative financing mechanisms, AI and digital tools to enable resilience to compound risks

Climate Alliance will support the programme by, among other things, organising a session on the topic of climate-resilient, affordable housing.
