This Policy Briefing outlines how the Rural Pact can contribute to transformative local action in rural areas. It identifies a set of actions for both local communities and higher-level authorities to pursue in order to enable tailored responses to rural challenges.

The Briefing explores the key elements that each rural community must develop to respond to its specific needs and opportunities, as well as actions to be taken by regional, national and European level authorities to support local transformative action towards the rural vision objectives.
Explore these elements in detail and discover how they are applied in various rural areas across Europe!
The Briefing is available in all official EU languages - find them below.
