Imagine a Europe where every voice counts,
from the bustling heart of its cities to the serene outskirts of rural areas.

Across Europe, mayors and local leaders are striving to close the existing gaps in the European territories to ensure fairness and bring the benefits of the European project to everyone,
no matter where they live.

We need a new deal to help them in this mission

CEMR leaders are proposing a new agenda to revitalise the promise of making Europe a just and equal continent for each of its citizens. To do so, it is crucial that the EU Institutions empower local leaders to lead the way in transforming our communities and ensuring that Europe remains competitive, sustainable, and united. 

Only together we will overcome these challenges

From the green hills of rural regions to the vibrant streets of our largest cities, Europe’s local governments are at the forefront of the biggest challenges of our time. They are working tirelessly to adapt to climate change, improve public services, and bring communities closer together. 

What's at Stake?

After years of managing through crises, including economic shocks and environmental disasters, local governments have shown they are key to Europe’s future. But they need support now. 

United for a Cohesive Europe

Cohesion policy is more than a financial too, it's the glue that binds Europe together. It ensures that whether you live in a big city or a small rural village, you have access to quality services, infrastructure, and opportunities.
