The cross-border dimension of climate change adaptation policies - 5.11.2025 in Arlon Campus Environnement
With the support of colleagues from the Center for Border Studies at the University of the Greater Region (UniGR-CBS), Lepur–University of Liège is organizing a Greater Region Forum as part of the INTERREG LATI project (Research Laboratory for Territorial Intelligence). The Forum serves as a platform for exchange between researchers, policymakers, public administrators, businesses, and citizens on various cross-border challenges faced by the Greater Region.
Climate adaptation is a major challenge for regions across the globe, including the Greater Region. But how can this adaptation process be managed within a space defined by national borders and various political systems? What role do coordination, cooperation, and commun strategies play? How can actors from different levels collaborate to address specific climate risks like flooding, drought or forest fires?
These questions will be addressed at the 11th UniGR-CBS Greater Region Forum on the cross-border dimension of climate change adaptation. This event will take place on 5 November 2025 at the Arlon Campus Environnement. The Forum is organised by the Department of Geography at the University of Liège, who is a member of the UniGR-CBS.
The UniGR-CBS series Forum Greater Region provides a platform for the exchange of ideas between researchers, policymakers, administrative authorities, businesses, and civil society. Participants will reflect on existing adaptation strategies, identify the potential of cross-border cooperation and explore new approaches. The aim is to transcend sectoral and territorial boundaries to develop new perspectives for a climate-resilient Greater Region.
The event is part of the INTERREG project LATI (Laboratory for Territorial Intelligence), which is implemented in the framework of the UniGR-CBS.
When: November 5th 2025 9h30-16h30
Where: Arlon Campus Environnement, Avenue de Longwy 185, 6700 Arlon
Note: The Forum will be bilingual French and German, there is no English translation intended.
