SDG Cafe: Sustainability beyond borders
How can we strengthen cross-border cooperation on sustainability in the Euregio?
During the SDG Café: Sustainability Beyond Borders, we bring together students, policymakers, organisations and engaged citizens from the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. The goal: to jointly build a sustainable and future-proof region — beyond borders.
At a time when European identity is under pressure and the European agenda is increasingly dominated by geopolitics, security and technological developments such as AI, we believe that sustainability and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) offer a shared compass. They provide a common language and direction for collaboration.
Societal and ecological challenges do not stop at national borders — in fact, they create opportunities for resilience and self-reliance. By connecting knowledge, resources and initiatives across the Euregio, we can strengthen one another, accelerate the transition and work together on solutions with real impact. In doing so, we put our shared European values into practice: human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, the rule of law and human rights.
