Resilient Borders: strengthening cross-border crisis management and spatial planningThe European Commission has completed the Resilient Borders project, launched in February 2025 to help border regions work together on crisis management and spatial planning.Managed by DG REGIO, with AEBR and MOT, the initiative supported 19 pilots, delivering mapping, data collection and tailored action plans. The pilots stress the need for:• access to local data• harmonised procedures• expert exchange• strong trust and communication channels• engagement of actors from political to civil society levelThese results will support DG REGIO’s preparations for the 2028–2034 period and help shape future Interreg orientations.
