New ENRD Thematic Groups on Rural Revitalisation and Rural Proofing are becoming operational with ambitions to support Member States’, regions and stakeholders roll out of the European Commission’s Long-Term Vision for Rural Areas up to 2040.
Rural Revitalisation Thematic Group members met in December to hear and learn from strategic approaches implemented by countries and regions to revitalise rural areas. Such sessions helped participants network know-how and build common understandings about enabling factors for rural revitalisation. Particular attention is being paid to rural areas affected by population loss, ageing and a lack of economic opportunities.
Find out more from the ENRD website pages about this Thematic Group and outcomes from its first meeting, including next steps for promoting policy tools that leave no one behind during the revitalisation of rural Europe.
Our new Thematic Group on Rural Proofing is also starting up with aims to share experience and develop recommendations that can guide the design and implementation of rural proofing mechanisms within Member States at different administrative levels (national, regional and local). Further information is available on the ENRD website about our new Rural Proofing Thematic Group.
