These regions are fundamental for the long-term sustainable development and the social and territorial cohesion of the European Union, but depopulation and the climate crisis may put their future at risk. With better targeted policies, in particular for the green and digital transitions, rural areas can have the tools to ensure access to quality jobs, health and education services, and attract young people. With the Logro\u00f1o Declaration, the European Committee of the Regions sent a clear message: to achieve a sustainable future, the European Union needs strong rural areas with the full participation of rural communities into the European project.<span lang=\"EN-GB\">&#8220;<\/span><em>\u200b<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">As pointed out in the CoR&#8217;s Annual Report on the\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/feature.cor.europa.eu\/soteulocal2023\"><strong>State of the regions and cities in EU<\/strong><\/a><span lang=\"EN-GB\">, 30 million people will have left Europe&#8217;s rural areas between 1993 and 2033.

Regions and cities are urging to consider the vulnerabilities and needs of rural areas in all investments under the Common Agricultural Policy and cohesion funds, the national recovery and resilience plans, and other Union programmes, as well as in their future design. In particular, they are calling for minimum earmarking of European funds for projects in rural areas in both cohesion policy operational programmes and other European direct intervention programmes, such as\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/research-and-innovation.ec.europa.eu\/funding\/funding-opportunities\/funding-programmes-and-open-calls\/horizon-europe_en\"><strong>Horizon Europe<\/strong><\/a><span lang=\"EN-GB\">, the\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/cinea.ec.europa.eu\/programmes\/connecting-europe-facility_en\"><strong>Connecting Europe Facility<\/strong><\/a><span lang=\"EN-GB\">\u00a0or\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/culture.ec.europa.eu\/creative-europe\"><strong>Creative Europe<\/strong><\/a><span lang=\"EN-GB\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Furthermore, the c<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">limate crisis and biodiversity loss<\/span> are having a significant negative impact on the agri-food sector.
