The plan aims at boosting the recognition of cities and regions' crucial role in decarbonisation, clean transition and resilience. ENVE members also appointed CoR President Kata Tüttő and First Vice-President Juanma Moreno as co-rapporteurs for a key opinion on strengthening water resilience in EU regions and cities.

Future EU budget must be ambitious and set clear rules to empower regions to address structural and emerging challenges, local leaders say in Brest
|
A post-2027 EU budget strengthening cohesion and based on genuine cooperation among EU, national and regional actors (multilevel governance) is the key request put forward by local and regional leaders gathered in Brest (France) on 26 June. Future National and Regional Partnership Plans must formally guarantee the role of local and regional authorities at all stages and a ‘European Partnership Pact’ should be adopted to better streamline investments and meet territorial needs.
