PA Secure at Macro-regional & Sea Basin Strategies Days 2025

On 24–25 September 2025, PA Secure took part in the Macro-regional & Sea Basin Strategies Days 2025 in Brussels – the joint platform bringing together all EU macro-regional and sea basin strategies to discuss future priorities for resilience, security and sustainable development.

As part of the official programme, PA Secure also contributed to the side event “Water resilience through European Union Strategies lenses”, organised by partners from the Danube Region. The Baltic Sea Region and PA Secure were represented by Hanna Billmayer (Halmstad municipality), who presented the flood protection system in Getinge, illustrating how long-term planning, blue-green infrastructure and cooperation with citizens can reduce flood risk at local level. halmstad.se (in Swedish)

For PA Secure, this was both a continuation of our growing cooperation with the EU Strategy for the Danube Region (EUSDR) and a chance to strengthen links across policy areas within the EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region – sharing concrete resilience solutions and learning from other macro-regions facing similar water-related risks.
