How Local Leaders Turn Climate Ambition into Action The Climate Budget Summit will bring together transformative trends from the city networks Union of the Baltic Cities and Eurocities, and local Mayors, decision-makers and practitioners driving the climate neutrality forward in their cities. With the moderation by HafenCity University Hamburg, we will link strategy, practice and research to examine how climate budgeting can support local climate ambitions!

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.

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 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.

The workshop is organised as part of EIT Urban Mobility North Summit 2026 and it is by invitation only. Modern cities do not only manage passenger transport. They must also manage the daily movement of goods, services, construction flows, waste, home deliveries and essential logistics that keep urban life functioning. Increasingly, this complexity is mediated through data that is collected, owned, shared and processed across public and private actors.

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.

The interactive peer-learning session will take place online on 10 June at 10-12.30 EEST. Register to get the access link!

Climate impacts, demographic change and growing security pressures are already affecting us and our communities. The tides are shifting, and so must we. The Forum offers a timely space to exchange experience, align priorities and strengthen cooperation across borders on resilience – how to withstand disruption, adapt and continue to function well when challenges occur, and bounce back better.

At the UBC TALKS webinar on 7 October 2025 (09.30–11.00 CEST / 10.30–12.00 EEST), experts and city representatives will explore how monitoring frameworks and innovative pilots help cities support active mobility and achieve their climate goals. Join municipalities from across the Baltic Sea Region as they share their practical experiences, and learn how to kick-start monitoring and evaluation in your city and strengthen your city’s Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP).

Together with Copenhagen Malmö Port (CMP), World Maritime University (WMU), and Union of the Baltic Cities (UBC) - the City of Malmö is hosting a pivotal conference on Future-proofing Our Port Cities, taking place 30 September – 1 October 2025. The conference brings together decision-makers, representatives from business, academia and the public sector from across Europe to jointly discuss future strategies for Europe's coastal and port cities in light of climate change.

This biennial event is an opportunity to contribute to the EU policy agenda for cities, exchange ideas, explore bold solutions and connect with like-minded professionals working to shape the future of cities. Attendees will participate in site visits, exhibitions and interactive discussions on pressing urban challenges, including affordable housing, climate resilience, and the digital transition.
