The 12th plenary session of the Euro-Mediterranean regional and local assembly (ARLEM) will take place on Monday 22 February 2021.
On the agenda is a debate on the path towards a renewed partnership between the EU and its Southern neighbours in the context of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Members will also discuss:
- a new Green Deal for the Mediterranean: the Agenda 2030 for a greener Mediterranean
- digitalisation as a key factor to boost business around the Mediterranean.
The plenary session will be followed in the afternoon by the ceremony of the 2021 ARLEM Award: young local entrepreneurship in the Mediterranean.
With this award, ARLEM focuses on stimulating local business, supporting young entrepreneurs and encouraging collaboration between local public authorities and the private sector. This year the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the limits of the globalisation and the crucial importance of the local economy. More than ever young local entrepreneurs need support to develop their businesses and address local communities’ needs.
