Four years after the outbreak, the world is finally recovering from COVID-19. The global community has learned many lessons to prepare for the next pandemic, yet others seem to remain unheeded. One of the profound lessons learned is that viruses respect no borders or boundaries made by man and that pandemics are truly a global threat in this interconnected world. The public health community also agrees that there will be more pandemics. Therefore, the key element of our preparation for the next global health crisis is a cooperation network built upon a “no-one-left-behind” approach. Unfortunat...

A new acronym in the climate space is getting its sea legs after the United Nations climate talks in Dubai last year, COP28. And if you, too, want to be a “champ” for climate action and policy, then this one’s for you. It’s called CHAMP, and it stands for the Coalition for High Ambition Multilevel Partnerships, with the primary focus on all things multilevel. It’s one of the easier acronyms to remember and reiterate in the climate vernacular. And it’s all about encouraging states to work with subnational governments to plan, finance, implement, and monitor climate strategies. This was a long o...

Artificial intelligence holds the potential to completely transform the way we live and work, from generating realistic images in seconds to potentially replacing smartphone apps. New developments and applications are emerging daily, and businesses are increasingly implementing AI-based tools and platforms into their operations with the hope of reaping the benefits. In fact, the adoption of AI tripled last year, with 37% of organisations implementing AI in some form, according to Gartner. But AI is not a quick magic fix. Business leaders cannot just implement AI and then step back and assume i...

This month, as banks gather for their AGMs, they face an important decision. While it’s not a surprise to see CEOs ignore the throngs of climate protesters shouting outside their offices, banks are starting to face criticism in more unlikely circles. With investors getting increasingly twitchy as banks continue to finance climate chaos, this year it’s time for them to listen and act. It makes no sense for banks to continue to pump billions into rapidly depreciating carbon assets as our boiling planet reaches the point of no return. Instead, they can do what they do best — follow the money, gro...

The European Union and its citizens, it remains a strained relationship. One full of mixed perceptions and mistrust, yet with high expectations. Sounds like the recipe for some serious marriage counselling or the script of the better Hollywood rom-com? No, it’s just a European reality. From love to hate, hate to love. It's reminiscent of the Facebook relationship status, “It’s complicated”. Taking stock of the last five years, a large-scale Euroconsumers survey shows little consumer satisfaction with the EU’s overall track record. While people appreciate how Europe handled the COVID-19 pandemi...

One of the more startling things about the current wave of pro-Palestinian demonstrations in the US and Europe is the extent to which they — perhaps unknowingly — echo the Hamas ideology as they chant, “From the River to the Sea, Palestine shall be free”. The progressive-left position that seems to dominate these demonstrations is not that Israel should withdraw from the occupied territories, not a two-state solution, and not “land for peace”. It is the abolition of Israel and its replacement by what they see as Palestine. How did this happen? It seems to have come as a total surprise to many ...

As a Hungarian who lived in Belgium for seven years, I know first-hand the opportunities and challenges of being a mobile European citizen. The ability to live, work, and study anywhere in the EU has been game-changing for people like me and many millions of others and is one of the core reasons for being in the EU. With the 2024 European Parliament elections on the horizon, it’s crucial for those of us living outside our home countries to understand what is at stake — and, importantly, how much our vote matters. Against a backdrop of stirring anti-democratic forces, which could threaten our f...

If everyone in the world had consumed as much as EU residents have over the last four months, humanity would have exhausted the planet's natural resources available for the entire year this Friday. The EU accounts for only 7% of the world’s population and yet we would need three planets to satisfy our demand if everyone on Earth lived like Europeans. Our planet simply cannot afford Europe’s consumption habits. This is not only unsustainable, it is irresponsible. Despite the urgency, there is no clear plan in sight to reverse this trend. On the contrary, European Council President Charles Miche...

The European Union’s Digital Markets Act (DMA) should have been a game-changer in Europe's quest to tame the titans of cyberspace. However, now that the DMA has come into force, it looks set to stumble into the same pitfalls as past EU endeavours. Brussels has once again cast too wide a regulatory net, strangling competition and innovation and leaving consumers scratching their heads in frustration. The EU hopes cracking down on tech giants, the gatekeepers of our digital world, will open the floodgates to competition, innovation, and better deals for consumers. But history tells a different t...

Responsible policymakers are informed by evidence, especially in times of uncertainty. To navigate complex trade-offs, deal with unpredictability, and balance the interests of the present, the near- and the far-future, evidence-based strategic foresight is a powerful compass to guide decisions. Used well, Europe’s advanced foresight tools can give it a long-term competitive edge. That’s why it’s so alarming that EU heads of state and government appear to be ready to ignore the wealth of evidence at their disposal, if the leaked priority-setting document for the next five years of the EU instit...
