As Europe’s cities navigate the transition toward climate resilience, the Greening Cities Partnership will take part in this year’s European week of Regions and Cities, with two dynamic sessions. These sessions will highlight cutting-edge tools and strategies that are shaping the cities of tomorrow. Under the theme “Cities Building Tomorrow,” participants will explore how to make green infrastructure investment-ready and how to transform data into actionable urban greening initiatives.
The European Urban Initiative will host more events to equip urban actors with the tools, knowledge, and inspiration to drive real change.

As Europe enters the peak of the 2025 tourist season, with already reporting record arrivals and over-tourism pressures mounting, this is the ideal moment to turn attention to the concrete work of the Sustainable Tourism Partnership under the Urban Agenda for the EU.

At Cities Forum 2025, more than 200 in-person and online participants joined the session “Unlocking urban potential through European Cooperation”. The session, organised by the Urban Agenda for the EU, focused on how multilevel governance and cooperation can help cities address major urban challenges.

Representatives from six different Thematic Partnerships shared concrete examples of how the Urban Agenda serves as a unique and impactful tool to promote sustainable urban development and enhance the role of cities in EU policymaking, by fostering collaboration across all levels of governance and among diverse stakeholders.
