Congress of European municipalities and regions
Innsbruck, 6 - 8 May
|

Reduced energy use, alternative means of transport, closed-looped systems to manage waste: these are just some of the way cities, municipalities and regions are making the world more sustainable.
But while some are on track, others are falling behind. How can local and regional governments lead transformative change on the ground? What will best prepare them for a sustainable future?
Mayors, local and regional leaders from across Europe will explore these and other burning questions at the 2020 CEMR Congress: “Local Action. Global Shift - Living the Sustainable Development Goals”.
Join hundreds of local and regional leaders in Innsbruck from 6 to 8 May and learn from places that are ahead of the curve on the key practices for sustainable development.

Excursion preview | Trip to the medieval town of Hall & the Crystal Worlds
Date: 7 May 2020, Time: morning
Is someone coming with you? Accompanying persons can experience Innsbruck and its surroundings on Thursday morning. Three excursions offer the opportunity to discover Innsbruck's mountain and sports world as well as the magic of the medieval city of Hall. For example:
During a leisurely stroll through the enchanting narrow streets of Hall, you will learn more about the seven hundred year history of Tyrol’s largest old town. Salt, silver and the shipping industry once made Hall Tyrol’s economic metropolis. As a listed heritage site, the old town with its numerous cafés and unique shops is the perfect place for visitors to stroll around and while away the time.
Following an old tradition of hospitality, mayor Eva Maria Posch invites you to the venerable premises of the historic town hall. To round off the excursion, you’ll head to Wattens for a tour of the Swarovski Crystal Worlds. (Maximum number of participants: 30 persons).
