Join us for our 16th Beyond Borders Breakfast Debate Series, dedicated to enhancing disaster resilience and crisis management in EU border regions. This discussion complements DG REGIO's latest efforts, specifically addressing the vital report: 'Strengthening the Resilience of EU Border Regions.'

This debate aims to provide updated information on the main tools and good practices for cross-border cooperation in managing both natural and human disasters. By shedding light on the gaps affecting cross-border territories in their risk management capabilities, the debate will offer suggestions for addressing these challenges at local, regional, national, and European levels.

Engage with a panel of experts and policymakers discussing:

• Innovative strategies for cross-border disaster risk management.
• Enhancing legal and governance frameworks for crisis management
• Key findings of the DG REGIO report on EU border resilience.
