The renewed EU Territorial Agenda 2030 builds on the following:
On 1 December 2020, the EU Territorial Agenda 2030 was adopted during an Informal Ministerial Meeting on Territorial Cohesion under the German Presidency of the Council of the EU. With a strong input to the participation of local and regional authorities, the Territorial Agenda 2030 promotes multi-level governance and subsidiarity.
AEBR welcomes the updated Agenda and President Karl-Heinz Lambertz had the chance to intervene and draw the attention of the ministries on border regions and cross-border cooperation.
The implementation of the TA2030 has started during the Portuguese Presidency of the Council of the EU in the first half of 2021. AEBR attended the online meeting of the Network of Territorial Cohesion Contact Points (NTCCP) on 23 March 2021.
AEBR also takes part in the Pilot Action CB Spatial Planning: A vision for a zero-carbon CB functional region, led by the Government of Luxemburg and based on the process Luxembourg in Transition (LIT) process. The kick-off meeting of this Pilot Action took place on 26 March 2021, and the first thematic meeting on 7 May, dealing with the organization of LIT and the presentation of its first results.
