On June 30, 2021, the European Commission adopted a long-term vision for the EU’s rural areas. This vision aims to address challenges faced by rural regions and leverage opportunities arising from the EU’s green and digital transitions. By 2040, the vision seeks to enhance the strength, connectivity, resilience, and prosperity of these areas. Key objectives include improving infrastructure, fostering economic growth, ensuring environmental sustainability, and promoting social inclusion. Comprehensive overview of key objectives, trends, challenges, opportunities, and an action plan for rural areas, including implementation details and next steps are outlined within the document available by the link for further exploration.
