In this episode of YEPs on the Ground, we’re joined by Kevin Cauchi, a former Young Elected Politician and current Member of the European Committee of the Regions for the EPP Group. Representing the picturesque island of Gozo, Malta, Kevin shares how local governance can be a powerful driver of change; especially when shaped by environmental awareness and island-specific realities.

We dive into his views on urban planning as a tool for sustainability, the challenges of island communities within the EU framework, and what the EU can do to better support territories like Gozo. Drawing from his personal journey from YEP to CoR Member, Kevin also offers inspiring advice for young Europeans looking to take their first steps in public life.

Tune in for a thoughtful conversation on regional leadership, environmental policy, and why proximity to citizens still matters in shaping Europe’s future.
