That's a wrap for #EURESFO25! see you at #euresfo26!

EURESFO25 demonstrated that resilience is already being built across Europe — now it's time to scale it up. For local and regional governments, resilience isn't an abstract concept; it's a lived, daily practice shaped by real people in real places. The insights shared in Rotterdam will continue to inform and strengthen ICLEI Europe’s ongoing support for cities across the continent.

Looking ahead to next year, cities and regions across Europe are invited to showcase their leadership and commitment to climate resilience by hosting the next edition of EURESFO.

The 12th European Urban Resilience Forum took place on 25-27 June in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

For over a decade, the European Urban Resilience Forum has served as a pivotal European initiative in the field of resilience. Organised by ICLEI and the European Environment Agency (EEA), 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 was co-organised with the City of Rotterdam and focused on accelerating resilience action. 

EURESFO 2025 took place at LantarenVenster, in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
