For over a decade, the European Urban Resilience Forum has served as a pivotal European initiative in the field of resilience. Organised by ICLEI and the European Environment Agency (EEA), EURESFO acts as a unique exchange platform that brings 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 the cultivation of urban resilience.
With this year’s edition focusing on accelerating resilience action, it will now be co-organised with the City of Rotterdam in 2025. As always, EURESFO 2025 will maintain 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.
Join our mobile workshop on 25 June, 14:00-16:30: Local Action to Address Extreme Heat - CitiesHitRefresh
In our session, you will hear how Paris, Rotterdam, Reggio Emilia and Kraljevo are tacking extreme heat.
Representatives from Emilia Romagna and the European Environment Agency will also talk about the critical role of multilevel governance and how risk assessments such as the European Climate Risk Assessment (EUCRA) help us better understand the variety and severity of climate hazards we are likely to be facing in the not-so-distant future so we can accelerate our efforts to respond.
