Sustainable cities call for input
The Basque Declaration – now open for your comments
From 27-29 April 2016, local governments and experts across Europe will meet in the Basque Country, at the 8th European Conference on Sustainable Cities & Towns, to discuss the pressing need for local action to transform our societies.
Following the achievements of the Aalborg Charter (1994) and the Aalborg Commitments (2004), the Basque Declaration will be launched in 2016, outlining new sustainable pathways for our cities and towns.
Today more than ever before, say the organizers, the European Union is in a crisis. They say that this is not only a financial and economic crisis, but also a crisis of shared values, principles and goals that goes to the heart of the Union and raises questions about its future in a globalised world. Europe is simultaneously asked to address global challenges like climate change and resource constraints.
"In this historic situation, European cities and towns understand that there is an urgent need for a technological, socio-economic, and social-cultural transformation to create productive, sustainable and resilient cities for a liveable and inclusive Europe."
With just three weeks left before the launch of the Basque Declaration, now is your chance to make your voice heard, and to provide your comments and feedback to make the Basque Declaration the next milestone for urban sustainability in Europe.
You are invited to read and discuss the Basque Declaration online in the run-up to the conference.
As the organizers say "Only together can we define our future and what actions we must take to get there."
