The EU has launched its first-ever Anti-Poverty Strategy as part of a wider social package aimed at tackling poverty, inequality and social exclusion.
But what does this mean in practice for cities?
In this four-part Lights On video series, Eurocities experts explain the main elements of the new strategy, what it means for local governments, and where important gaps remain. The videos explore how the strategy approaches poverty across different stages of life, the role of cities in delivering support on the ground, and the funding and governance challenges that could affect implementation.
Designed for city officers and policymakers, the series provides a quick and accessible overview of the key messages, upcoming initiatives and opportunities for cities to help shape the agenda.
