In less than three weeks, ICLEI Members will have the opportunity to meet at the ICLEI European Membership Assembly, taking place in Brussels (Belgium) from 17-18 May. The event will be an opportunity for city peers to meet and identify innovative solutions to urban sustainable development challenges. This closed event, organised in cooperation with The Brussels Capital Region, will focus on how recent political trends are affecting local policy making and how cities can reinvent themselves to achieve a much-needed societal transformation.

As a key starting point, participants will learn about how the “Basque Declaration” will support and accelerate socio-cultural, socio-economic and technological transformation. This document, acclaimed by the participants of the 8th European Conference on Sustainable Cities & Towns, outlines new pathways for European Cities and Towns to create productive, sustainable and resilient cities for a liveable and inclusive Europe.

ICLEI Members will also share their agendas and strategies on burning issues at the local level, such as civic engagement, carbon neutrality, circular economy, nature based solutions in cities, and Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans.

Places are limited so early registration is advised. Registration is available online. The event is free of charge.
