On 18 June, during the General Assembly of Regions4, Minister Zuhal Demir was elected Vice-President for Europe within the Board of Chairs. Together with representatives of the regions of the Basque Country, La Réunion, Jalisco and Rabat Salé Kenitra, she will work to realise the ambitions of Regions4 over the next two years.
The Network of Regional Governments for Sustainable Development, nrg4SD, was transformed into Regions4 in 2019. The organisation brings together 41 regional governments from 4 continents, on the themes of climate change, biodiversity and sustainable development.
Minister Demir: “Regions4 plays a crucial role to support regions in the deployment and implementation of internationally agreed environmental, climate and sustainability agendas and to face the challenges that this implies. Flanders is committed to working with Regions4 leadership to make the most of the recovery from the pandemic as a chance to substantially contribute to the much-needed climate and energy transitions in our territories and for our citizens.”
