The European Parliament Intergroup on Rural, Mountainous and Remote areas (RUMRA) organises a breakfast briefing to discuss what lessons rural and urban areas can learn from the past, and how can future policies strengthen, rather than weaken, the economic, social and territorial cohesion of Europe.

This breakfast briefing will discuss concrete policy options which are both on rural and urban agenda such as transport, connectivity, rural-urban relations, energy and climate change and others. Join us and lean what urban and rural challenges have in common and how to move forward to solve them in a coherent manner.

The speakers

  • MERCEDES BRESSO, MEP, Chair of the RUMRA Intergroup
  • JAN OLBRYCHT, MEP, President of URBAN Intergroup
  • Member of Cabinet, Regional Policy Commissioner CRETU, (tbc)
  • NOVAMONT, producer of bioplastics and biochemicals

Today, Euromontana had the pleasure to take part in the journalist training course “Transizione ecologica nelle aree montane: biodiversità, cambiamento climatico e sviluppo sostenibile”, organised by Università della Montagna with the Ordine dei Giornalisti della Lombardia (the Lombardy Association of Journalists 📰)The course, bringing together 65+ participants, focused on how to better understand and report on ecological transition in mountain areas, from biodiversity and climate change to sustainable development ⛰️👉This matters because the way mountain areas are reported shapes the way they are understood and, ultimately, the way they are governed!We were pleased to join our member UNIMONT in this exchange. Prof. Anna Giorgi highlighted the need to change the way mountain areas are perceived, beyond fragility and marginality. Stefano Sala then showed how issues such as depopulation, winter tourism, climate change and public policy require a more nuanced reading of mountain realities 🔍 For Euromontana, Guillaume Corradino brought a European perspective to the discussion. He stressed that :1️⃣ mountains are not Europe’s margins, but diverse and complex living territories, and 2️⃣ stronger place-based policies and European cooperation are needed to move from recognition to implementation.Thanks again for the organization, the opportunity, and to all the participants 👏 ...
