EMA 2024
9ª edición | Ámsterdam
Descripción
En esta nueva edición del foro EMA se reunirán altos representantes políticos de las principales metrópolis europeas para debatir sobre los retos metropolitanos.
Programa
"El bienestar desde una perspectiva metropolitana" será la idea principal del programa -actualmente en elaboración-, que incluirá, además de visitas sobre el terreno y debates, sesiones de alto nivel, en las que los participantes profundizarán en la cuestión de qué tipo de sociedad queremos ser y qué es necesario para un desarrollo económico sostenible, la seguridad de los medios de subsistencia y un entorno vital saludable, utilizando ejemplos inspiradores, prácticos y escalables. Los resultados se presentarán ante la Comisión Europea en forma de declaración política de la EMA.

El bienestar desde una perspectiva metropolitana
La conferencia de noviembre se centra en el bienestar desde una perspectiva metropolitana, equilibrando la economía, el bienestar social y la ecología entre sí, tanto aquí y ahora, como en el futuro y en otras partes del mundo (prosperidad amplia). La perspectiva de bienestar de la prosperidad amplia puede ayudar a la Unión Europea y a las regiones urbanas a establecer prioridades y tomar decisiones equilibradas para el futuro.
En un contexto de grandes retos en ámbitos como la vivienda, el medio ambiente, la energía, el trabajo, la sanidad y la educación, en el que cada vez se oye con más fuerza la llamada a dar prioridad al bienestar, la reunión ofrece una oportunidad única para que las metrópolis europeas hagan oír su voz colectiva y defiendan los intereses de las regiones metropolitanas.

Elecciones europeas
Es importante destacar que el foro EMA de este año tendrá lugar tras las elecciones europeas, lo que supone una excelente oportunidad para presentar la importancia de la dimensión metropolitana a las nuevas instituciones europeas.
