The 12th edition of the European Urban Resilience Forum (EURESFO) will take place from 25 to 27 June 2025 in Rotterdam, at LantarenVenster. Organised by ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability and the European Environment Agency (EEA), this key annual event has, for over a decade, served as a reference point for cities, institutions, and professionals working to strengthen urban resilience across Europe.

EURESFO offers a unique platform for exchange and dialogue among local government representatives, experts, stakeholders, and decision-makers from all over Europe. The event will address key themes such as climate change adaptation, disaster risk management, sustainable and inclusive solutions, and climate justice.

The 2025 edition, co-organised with the City of Rotterdam, will focus on accelerating resilience action, promoting concrete, innovative, and collaborative approaches to urban challenges.

The Forum is particularly aimed at resilience-makers, the local planners and decision-makers leading urban transformation; resilience innovators, who are testing new digital, social, or technical solutions; resilience providers, including institutions, companies, and networks offering tools, resources, and expertise; and resilience supporters, such as activists, researchers, funders, and engaged citizens working toward safer, more inclusive, and sustainable cities.

In addition to plenary sessions and workshops, participants will have the opportunity to engage in networking activities and site visits to explore inspiring local projects underway in Rotterdam.

Participation is free, but registration is required by 13 June 2025 to secure your place.
