Building on its previous work on sustainable rural/urban development and the ongoing opinion on the EU Long-term vision for rural areas, the NAT Section is organising an online thematic debate on 9 February 2022 to explore insights for the implementation of the Rural Pact towards a sustainable rural/urban development.
This event will bring together representatives from several European institutions (European Parliament, French Presidency of the EU Council, Committee of the Regions, European Commission) to engage in a conversation with EESC NAT Section Members on the long-term vision and the implementation of the Rural Pact as well as the potential role and areas of collaboration for the EU institutions.
Speakers will discuss:
- views from the EU institutions on the long-term vision,
- potential role and areas of collaboration for the implementation of the Rural Pact
