Have you tried getting a plumber in recently? So has Europe’s construction sector – without much luck. The sector needs to carry out a massive wave of renovations in the coming years to meet the EU’s climate goals. This includes changing gas boilers for heat pumps and insulating older buildings, all while keeping up with demand for new homes. Construction firms will need to recruit migrant workers because there aren’t nearly enough people with the necessary skills in domestic labour forces. But they’re being held back by immigration policies that aren’t fit for purpose. A rethink – including p...

The third time wasn’t the charm. After Safe Harbour and Privacy Shield both met their maker at the hands of the EU’s Court of Justice (CJEU), a new report predicts that the US’ latest attempt to offer adequate protection to EU citizens and residents when it comes to the transfer of their data could be the next fatality. The report assessed the new EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF) based on a legal "fitness check" that considers the benchmarks established by EU law and the CJEU in judgments like Schrems I and Schrems II. Any international data transfers deal between the European Commission and...

The swearing-in ceremony of the newly elected President of North Macedonia, Gordana Davkova Siljanovska, caused an uproar in Athens, Brussels, and many other European capitals. Not because she is the first-ever female president of the country or because she just won a landslide victory. It also wasn't about something she said. Actually, it was about what she did not say. While taking her oath of office, President Davkova omitted the directional adjective "North" and said just "Macedonia" despite signing a formal oath under her country's constitutional name on the same day. Yet, given that she ...

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...
