For over a decade, the European Urban Resilience Forum (EURESFO) has served as a pivotal European initiative in the field of resilience. Organised by ICLEI and the European Environment Agency (EEA), and this year in collaboration with the City of Rotterdam, EURESFO acts as a unique exchange platform that brings together city representatives, experts, and stakeholders from local and regional institutions to discuss strategies, initiatives, and actions related to climate change adaptation, disaster management, and the cultivation of urban resilience.

The 2025 edition of EURESFO will focus on how to accelerate resilience action on six key topics. These topics are justice, inclusion and societal resilience, new extremes and polycrises: from heatwaves to water resilience, exploring nature-based solutions: from policy to action, finance and investment strategies for resilience-building, resilience governance in a polarised political landscape and finally data, information and evidence-based resilience action.
