CESE a organizat, în sesiune plenară, o dezbatere privind importanța tot mai mare a societății civile organizate și a orașelor în asigurarea capacității Europei de a face față șocurilor asimetrice și crizelor neprevăzute. Schimbul de opinii a fost legat de adoptarea a două avize, unul privind Asistență flexibilă pentru teritorii (FAST-CARE), iar celălalt privind Acordul de la Ljubljana privind Agenda urbană a UE. Comitetul salută ambele inițiative, dar consideră că acestea nu propun soluții suficiente pentru capacitarea și implicarea corespunzătoare a societății civile organizate în eforturile de asigurare a rezilienței europene. O măsură esențială propusă de CESE este crearea unui fond UE separat pentru reconstrucția și dezvoltarea Ucrainei, care să completeze eforturile depuse de statele membre.
