Since the launch of the rural vision, important progress has been made in the implementation of the Rural Action Plan, including in the context of the Rural Pact. The European Commission’ report from March 2024 ‘The Long-Term Vision for the EU’s Rural Areas: Key Achievements and Ways Forward‘ outlines the progress made and highlights ideas for further support raised by EU institutions and stakeholders. It also identifies areas requiring additional effort and continuity to achieve their objectives.
This second Rural Pact Conference will bring together the Rural Pact community to reflect on and learn from the practices and experiences implemented by the Rural Action Plan and look at the future to ensure stronger, connected, resilient and prosperous rural areas. By engaging with the Rural Pact community, the Conference aims to collect their needs and ideas for enhanced support, and contribute to the political debate shaping future policies for rural areas.
