The 9th Cohesion Report highlights significant challenges facing in particular Europe's most vulnerable regions and citizens, including geopolitical tensions, climate transition, economic competition, demographic decline, and technological transformation.

How can we ensure unity and leave no one behind?

We have discussed about it in the  PES Group workshop, "Mapping Solidarity: Visions for CAP and Cohesion" during the 2024 European Week of Regions and Cities. This event explored progressive reform proposals that promote solidarity in the European internal market, with a focus on the future of Common Agricultural and Cohesion policies.
