Thousands of mayors, councillors, regional ministers and top European and global decisionmakers gathered in Mons, in the Walloon Region of Belgium, in the heart of Europe, to debate the challenges and solutions for the future of Europe and beyond. 

2024 Highlights

With more than 3500 participants, from 59 countries, and all 5 continents, 80 stands, and over 4000 live views worldwide, the Summit has been a great success, and this is thanks to your active contribution, insightful discussions, and commitment to bringing the voice of local and regional authorities at the centre of EU policies. ​ 

Organised by the European Committee of the Regions together with the Walloon Region in the framework of the Belgian Presidency of the Council of the European Union, the 10th European Summit of Regions and Cities has brought a new perspective on topics at the heart of people's concerns, such as democracy, sustainable development, the future of the European Union and its enlargement, the need to ensure social, economic and territorial cohesion, and dealing with the consequences of the war against Ukraine. Global challenges were addressed by bringing together different perspectives from across the world. 

With the Mons Declaration, the Summit delivered the views of regions and cities for the future of the European Union. The European Committee of the Regions is particularly proud that this occasion coincided with its 30th anniversary.​​​ 

​The Summit was​ sustainable and socially responsible, global and local at the same time, inclusive and diverse. Find out more about our commitment.​
