The State of Regions and Cities in the European Union

The State of Regions and Cities in the European Union

24.08.2023

On 9 October 2023, the Committee of the Regions will publish its EU Annual Report on the State of Regions and Cities, as a snapshot of the most pressing challenges faced by regions and cities across Europe, as well as solutions from the ground to inform EU policy decisions.


Based on original studies commissioned by the European Committee of the Regions, as well as academic research, contributions from other European institutions and open source documentation, the Report provides facts and data for policy-makers and relevant stakeholders. The main findings and recommendations will be echoed in the annual address on the State of Regions and Cities in the European Union, to be delivered by the President of the European Committee of the Regions, Vasco Alves Cordeiro in October 2023.

This year's Report focuses on the most pressing challenges that EU regions and cities are facing. From emergencies and crises, such as climate disasters, the Russian war against Ukraine or energy shortages, to long-term transformation via the green and digital transition, while strengthening cohesion, the Report will provide solutions and ideas from the ground.

The Report will be forward-looking, acting as a foresight guide in view of the European elections and the next legislative term of the EU institutions.

The Report will also feature its "Regional and Local Barometer", presenting the views of elected representatives from across Europe surveyed in partnership with IPSOS.
