November 26, 2015
Share on 
Three years after the EU and Jordan assumed the Co-Presidency of the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM) – launched in 2008 in Paris – and 20 years exactly after the Barcelona Declaration launched the Euro-Mediterranean partnership, the UfM will hold a conference, “Towards a common Development Agenda for the Mediterranean”, on 26 November in Barcelona.
In the context of the increasing magnitude of the common challenges in the Mediterranean region and the recent presentation of the reviewed European Neighborhood Policy (ENP), the conference will offer a timely opportunity to discuss the way forward for a strengthened regional cooperation agenda in the Mediterranean.
High level officials, eminent personalities, representatives from regional organisations and international financial institutions, as well as key regional stakeholders from civil society, the private sector and local authorities will review UfM activities and achievements and will discuss the perspectives for working together in the years to come towards a better future for the Mediterranean region.
The event will be structured around three thematic panels: Inclusive growth and youth employability; Sustainable development; and Women’s empowerment. (EU Neighbourhood Info)
