Institute for European Environmental Policy (IEEP)’s Post

I wrote a short analysis on behalf of Institute for European Environmental Policy (IEEP) on the latest election results in Europe and France, and what kind of conclusions we should draw from them. I look forward to your comments!

#EUElections #Democracy@Work #FutureofEurope This fascinating article describes the structure of the European Parliamentary elections for EU27 member states, which will be held from this Thursday through Sunday. It also covers: * How do these elections work (as to opposed to elections in a single country) * What's the point of the European Parliament and what does it do? * What are the biggest issues on European Union citizens' minds & what ramifications will this election have on Global Trade, Relations with the US, with China, towards Russia, with the rest of the world, on Climate change policy, migration polices, etc.? * What are the current political groupings in the EU parliament which groups currently make up the majority. * What is likely to happen in this election? Read on for the details! Let me know your questions, thoughts and comments!

For those with an interest in corporate sustainability and human rights in business check out MFAT's latest Market Intelligence Report on the EU's Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) which is now a step closer to coming into force later this year. The CSDDD builds on recently enacted human rights due diligence legislation in a number of EU member states and a number of human rights and sustainability-related reporting laws including modern slavery legislation in Australia, UK, and Canada. Key takeaway - NZ businesses which trade with or in the EU should begin thinking about how they might map their human rights and environmental risks if required to, and what action they might take if negative impacts were identified.

On June 11, The Brookings Institution will convene a panel of experts to discuss what the #EuropeanParliament #elections results mean for European #democracy, #defense and #security, and trans-Atlantic relations. "Against the backdrop of a darkening #geopolitical landscape and with far-right #populists polling well across the EU, these elections will affect coalition-building in the parliament as well as the composition of the bloc’s executive. This in turn will determine the direction of the EU’s policy on key issues such as #migration, enlargement to #Ukraine and other countries, trade, and #climate policy".

The recent EU elections signal a potential shift in Europe's political landscape, with a rise in far-right support and losses for the liberal Renew party. The centre-right European People's Party (EPP) emerged as the only centrist party to gain seats, and while the EPP could once again join a grand coalition with the socialists and liberals, it may also negotiate with right-leaning parties, possibly tilting the EU policy agenda to the right. Should we be worried? What would this mean for EU politics, the future of its policies like the Green Deal, and its outlook on international trade and relations especially with ASEAN? And, what should businesses look out for? Get your questions answered in this webinar on 21 June, Friday. Register here now to stay ahead.

The European elections take place this week. All parties and all countries are convinced they know what the main issues are. We can talk about "migration" or "Security" or "economics" till we're blue in the face but it's worth keeping something else in mind. Europe is at its best when it does things that no single European country can do on its on. The space programme is one key example. No country can do that alone, but we are stronger together. Every issue needs to be seen through this prism - for example, should migration be a pan-European thing or should it be a national one? We cannot ask Europe to solve a problem but also want the problem to be solved in "our way". Your vote in the European election this week will reflect how much Europe you want; it won't represent a single issue.
