European Week of Regions and Cities 2026

Building strong regions lies at the heart of cohesion policy: the European Union supports regions so that Europeans can thrive where they live, businesses and new ideas can flourish, and communities can benefit from quality services. Yet regions across the Union face very different realities: from common geopolitical pressures to specific territorial challenges, from demographic change to economic developments, from skills shortages to the need to strengthen essential services. As challenges differ, so too must solutions: they should be place-based and tailored to local and regional needs.

This year’s European Week of Regions and Cities will be an important opportunity to exchange ideas, grow partnerships and share experience on how cohesion policy can help every region succeed. Climate Alliance is happy to be part of the event exhibition with its project Just Streets. Stay tuned for more information!
