Union of the Baltic Cities – Sustainable Cities Commission

This multisectoral conference brings together researchers, specialists, decision-makers, and business representatives from Europe and beyond to find solutions for planetary health and regional vitality. The conference explores synergies and contradictions between biodiversity, health, and the economy, offering an opportunity to share and discuss new scientific findings and practical solutions in a transdisciplinary environment.

The Baltic Sea Region is entering a decade defined by complex, interlinked challenges: climate impacts are accelerating, demographic pressures are reshaping communities, and security threats are growing – from cyberattacks and hybrid interference to vulnerabilities in critical infrastructure. These challenges do not occur in isolation. They interact, reinforce one another, and demand coordinated responses that no country or sector can achieve alone.
