Upcoming Events

European security, economy, and democracy are undergoing major changes – and these are directly reflected in the people’s everyday lives, for example in energy prices, changes to working life, and the sense of security. These issues will be explored at the ninth Europe Forum in Turku on 26–28 August 2026. 

For every interested BSR city: best practices and hands-on application of the tool you can use to calculate your city's climate scenarios! Together with peers from across the Baltic Sea Region, you will exchange practical experiences in climate budgeting, explore real city use cases, and work directly with the open CADS (Climate Action Decision Support) Tool for climate scenario calculations. Together with peers from across the Baltic Sea Region, you will:

The focus of the Sustainable Cities Commission meeting 2026 is active mobility! We warmly welcome UBC members to the meeting, organised back-to-back with our large conference “Baltic Active Mobility 2026: Shaping Future Cities” on 7-9 September 2026 in Gdynia, Poland.

This workshop aims to explore how Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs) can evolve to address Functional Urban Areas (FUAs), improve mobility data collection and strengthen the implementation phase with clear guidance on the use of collected data. The discussion will build on the updated SUMP guidelines and indicators, including emerging mobility trends, the role of integrated public transport systems and a stronger focus on integration of urban logistics as a component and consideration in SUMPs.

When all other hurdles on the path towards climate neutrality are solved, one common bottleneck often remains – urban mobility. How to decarbonise this sector? What measures and strategic decisions to take? And how to comprehensively calculate the impact of alternative approaches? The September webinar issue looks right into this matter.

This in-person workshop focuses on urban nodes and their new requirements. Two years into the revised TEN-T Regulation, the workshop brings together the POLIS Urban Nodes Taskforce and Access Working Group to take stock of where urban nodes stand in meeting their new obligations and what still needs to happen.

Cities across Europe are facing increasingly complex risks, from climate impacts and extreme weather events to economic uncertainty, demographic change, and geopolitical disruptions. Building resilience is no longer a future ambition, but a present-day necessity.
