This Policy Action Lab, organised by the Rural Pact Support Office, will explore key opportunities for rural communities to benefit from the green transition and enhance their territorial development tools. The Policy Lab will gather 100 participants, including relevant policymakers and networks at EU, national and regional levels, involved in EU funds, including CAP and EU cohesion policies, representatives of regional and local stakeholders, such as civil society organisations and public authorities, as well as relevant academic and research and innovation organisations.

Miguel Macias Sequeira was a speaker on Session 1: "Understanding how to harness the potential of rural communities to benefit from the green transition" which gathered stakeholders’ experiences and participatory group discussions on the three topics (Group 2: Energy Communities).
