Discussion
The hotly contested Arctic: Why we need more EU in the region
Online Event
To what extent are the European member states, bordering the Arctic region, involved in the race for the Arctic? How can the European Union engage with the growing geopolitical importance of the Arctic, the impact of competition for natural resources, and new environmental and security risks in the region? What are Brussels and the EU member states, especially the Nordic countries, already doing in terms of security policy? Shouldn't the Nordic countries in particular be given more voice in EU Arctic policy?

A Climate of Peace
Can a Green Blue Deal unite the Middle East to tackle the climate crisis?
The European Office of the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung and EcoPeace Middle East invite you to the presentation of the Green Blue Deal in the Middle East as an unofficial event in the framework of the COP26, currently taking place in Glasgow. In December 2020, EcoPeace Middle East, the only transnational organisation that brings together Jordanian, Palestinian and Israeli environmentalists, launched its report “The Green Blue Deal for the Middle East”. Further, it proposes a framework of interdependencies in the Middle East to utilize climate change as an opportunity for creating cooperation in the region. EcoPeace’s policy strategies do not only contribute to resource security, sustainable regional development and cooperation in the Middle East, but also include a security policy dimension in the conflict-laden region.

Gesellschaften im Wandel
Wirtschaft und Politik im Angesicht der demografischen Alterung Deutschlands und Europas
Europas Bevölkerung geht einem Trend der Überalterung entgegen. Allein die Anzahl von Menschen in der EU im Alter von über 80 Jahren wird bis zum Jahr 2030 von heute 19 Millionen auf 34 Millionen ansteigen. Diese Alterungstendenz betrifft alle Bereiche der Gesellschaft, insbesondere den Bereich des Arbeitslebens und der sozialen Sicherung. Folglich wird die Bevölkerung im arbeitsfähigen Alter (15-64 Jahre) bis zum Jahr 2030 um 20 Millionen zurückgehen, während gleichzeitig in den meisten EU-Ländern die Zahl der über 50- jährigen Arbeitnehmerinnen und Arbeitnehmer auf 55 Prozent der gesamten Erwerbsbevölkerung ansteigt.

Die Digitalisierung Europas erfordert neben finanziellen Investitionen und Schulung der Anwender und Nutzer besondere Konzepte zur Erreichung dieser Ziele. Diese sind zum Teil schon selbstverständlicher Teil der täglichen Arbeit in Unternehmen, Verwaltungen und Privathaushalten; in einigen Branchen und Administrationen jedoch noch nicht.
