Welcome to EUROCITIES 2009 Stockholm!
We are pleased to announce that EUROCITIES 2009 Stockholm, the main conference of the EUROCITIES network, will take place from 25-28 November. The theme of this year’s conference will be Urban Challenges - Sustainable Solutions and will focus on climate change and economic growth, which is linked to that of the Swedish Presidency of the European Union.
All major cities share the responsibility of developing common solutions to these challenges. The EUROCITIES 2009 conference in Stockholm offers an opportunity for the exchange of experience and sharing of innovative ideas: together we can make a difference.
Stockholm is known for its pioneering environmental solutions and how these can act as an engine for high economic growth. The conference will focus on this and on how local authorities in all areas have to consider the effects of climate change while pursuing economic growth. During our discussions, we will seek ways of finding sustainable solutions for the pillars of our society:
● People ● Business ● Science ● Culture
As Stockholm has just been designated European Green Capital 2010, the timing of the conference is particularly suitable.
EUROCITIES 2009 takes place in the context of the Swedish Presidency of the European Union and the Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt has expressed an interest in the meeting.
Välkommen till Stockholm!
