EU Green Week | Pioneers of change: supporting the transitions of mountain regions

The Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, a member ofEuromontana,is organising a partner event as part of EU Green Week 2026. This year’s theme focuses on investing in nature and rewarding people and businesses.
Join us on 2 June 2026 (14:00–16:00 CET) at the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region Delegation (11 Place des Barricades, 1000 Bruxelles) for a policy session showcasing nature-positive economic solutions for resilient mountain futures.
In the face of climate change, mountain regions stand at the forefront of major transitions. They must preserve their natural resources while sustaining the conditions for their economic development, ensuring they remain attractive, dynamic and inhabited.
This event will focus on the following topics:
- Supporting the transition of the forestry sector
- Supporting the transition of the tourism and sports sectors.
As part of the European Mountain Pact launched by the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region, which calls for the specific characteristics and needs of mountain territories to be integrated into European policies and programmes, this event will provide a platform for regions and local stakeholders to share good practices on nature-positive economic solutions in mountains.
Through examples of concrete projects and tools, participants will highlight their ambitions, needs and hopes for accompanying the transition of mountain areas in the current and future programming period.
Register before 25 May 2026.
