Commitments

All individuals and organisations interested in contributing to the shared goals of the rural vision are invited to commit specific actions to the Rural Pact. These commitments overview your willingness and proposed idea to act for the development of European rural areas.
Everyone can contribute according to their capacity and no action is too small!
Since the Rural Pact Conference of 2022, the Rural Pact Support Office has collected 128 stakeholder commitments which are continuously being uploaded in the new, interactive website tool.
