World Forum for Democracy 2026

New Democratic Pact for Europe

|
Strasbourg, France

Over three days, participants will take stock of European democracies, project themselves into possible futures based on forward-looking scenarios, and commit to implementing concrete actions at all levels of governance. Discussions will draw on work carried out by specialists in policy planning and strategic analysis, exploring not only future threats but also the choices still available to democracies to strengthen themselves. The discussions will address both immediate threats and long-term resilience: how can democracies withstand upheaval while renewing themselves?
