Under the auspices of the Spanish EU Presidency, EUROCITIES’ Forums on Economic Development and Environment will hold a joint event with participation of the OECD to debate how cities can rethink their role and structures in the context of the challenges of climate change and recession. The meeting will examine strategies cities are adopting to address climate targets and improve economic performance. Presentations will be given on these various methods, including investments in green jobs, eco-innovation, greening small and medium enterprises and use of appropriate planning tools. Representatives of the Spanish Presidency of the EU, the European Commission and the European Parliament have been invited to comment on how the EU can help cities move towards greater sustainable economic development.
