- A discussion on the future of ecological transport in the region, leveraging the Douro River as a route for sustainable mobility, as well as ongoing initiatives.
- The Douro’s Tradition in Circular Economy: New Measures for New Challenges
-
- The Douro region has a long-standing tradition of adopting circular economy practices. What measures should be implemented to meet new global and local demands, ensuring the region’s sustainable development?
In addition to these topics, we will address ongoing efforts and future steps to attract new support and investments that will help combat desertification and promote sustainable socioeconomic growth in the region.
With approximately 200,000 inhabitants, an area of 250,000 hectares, and the Douro River running through 200km of the territory, the region offers enormous potential, driven by a strong will to innovate and adapt to current and future challenges.
These and other topics will be explored during the conference, where we will also introduce the new Comunidade Intermunicipal do Douro – CIM Liaison Office in Brussels, aimed at developing a strategy to enhance the region’s growth and respond to present-day demands.
