European Urban Resilience Forum (EURESFO 2026)

The 13th edition of the European Urban Resilience Forum (EURESFO) will take place from 17 to 19 June 2026 in Guimarães, Portugal. As a long-standing and influential European initiative, EURESFO has, since 2013, brought together city representatives, experts, and stakeholders from across local and regional institutions to exchange knowledge and advance action on climate resilience.

Co-organised by Climate KIC, alongside ICLEI Europe, the European Environment Agency (EEA), and the City of Guimarães — European Green Capital 2026 — this year’s forum will explore integrated approaches to climate resilience that go beyond adaptation. It will focus on how cities can address complex, interconnected challenges through more systemic and inclusive strategies.

EURESFO 2026 will maintain its distinctive “PowerPoint-free” format, creating an open and interactive environment that encourages dialogue, peer learning, and the sharing of practical experiences. Participants will engage with key topics including climate change adaptation, disaster risk management, and the implementation of urban resilience strategies.

The event will take place at the Pavilhão Multiusos de Guimarães.
