VASAB Webinar on Spatial Resilience and Spatial Planning

VASAB is organising a webinar to explore how spatial planning can enhance the spatial resilience of countries in the Baltic Sea Region, better preparing them for future challenges.

In the last couple of years unpredictable events – COVID pandemic, war against Ukraine, energy crisis – have brought many challenges and consequences to the Baltic Sea Region, its regions and cities, while impacts of climate change have also become more visible. These events made even the most extreme regional development scenarios seen overly optimistic.

Coping with these challenges along with adaptation to new EU policies require immediate and flexible approach, and information exchange. Spatial planning has been identified as a valuable mechanism through which an adaptation to various foreseeable as well as unpredictable needs and future scenarios can be facilitated.

Therefore, VASAB Finnish Chairmanship would like to invite you to join the webinar and discuss how spatial planning can foster the spatial resilience of the countries around the Baltic Sea and better prepare themselves for future challenges.

Additional information, a comprehensive agenda for the webinar, and registration details are available on the VASAB’s website.
