This new thematic group will explore ways to improve how the Common Agricultural Policy Strategic Plans are used to support a transition to more sustainable and competitive livestock systems.

On 27 January 2026, Euromontana, together with its member Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes (AURA), jointly hosted a meeting of representatives from mountain areas at the Region’s premises in Brussels.

ESPON has just released a new article, “Thriving beyond numbers : rethinking rural prosperity”, exploring how European rural and mountain areas can move beyond traditional growth metrics to better reflect well-being, resilience and the “right to stay”.
