The first workshop in the new series of the OECD Principles on Rural Policy Dialogues, The Futures of Rural Places: identifying drivers, navigating uncertainty, and exploring alternatives will take place on Wednesday, 18 November 2026 (15:00-16:30, CET/Paris time).
This online workshop will explore how developments at global, national, regional and local levels interact with rural characteristics, how uncertainties intersect in different rural contexts, and which possibilities become visible when rural perspectives inform the analysis. In doing so it will be seeking to address the following key questions:
- How does applying a rural development lens change how we identify and analyse drivers and trends? What might otherwise be overlooked?
- How do uncertainties intersect in different rural contexts, and what does this mean for the future of different rural places?
- How can a rural development lens help us move beyond familiar narratives and explore a wider range of plausible rural futures?
