Greater capacity for action for public administration with artificial intelligence
Strengthening the future viability of the administration through practical AI expertise, simplified regulatory compliance and European AI in critical areas
Artificial intelligence offers the opportunity to make public administration sustainable and efficient. This is an urgent task in view of the major challenges facing the state. This requires practical AI expertise, simpler regulatory requirements and the mandatory use of European AI in critical areas. In this way, the administration can master demographic challenges, strengthen trust and secure its ability to act - for a modern, efficient administration in the digital age.

Proposals for a new conservative climate narrative
Engaging conservative groups for a technology-open, market-based, and internationally climate policy
The German climate debate is highly polarized and hardly convinces the conservative middle. The gap between aspiration and reality is too large. This conservative middle takes the climate problem seriously but feels patronized by state interventions. A new narrative is needed to reach this middle and win them over for effective and efficient climate policy. This conservative climate narrative is based on market-based, technology-open, and internationally oriented approaches, with emissions trading as the key instrument of climate policy.

Aligning growth and climate Protection
On the necessity of economic growth for successful climate protection
Contrary to what is often claimed, degrowth approaches do not lead to more climate protection. On the contrary: a deindustrialization of Germany or the European Union (EU) would significantly reduce the opportunities to contribute to climate protection. It is crucial for the success of the transformation that climate protection and economic growth go hand in hand. An effective climate policy can be achieved with the help of suitable framework conditions, in particular consistent carbon pricing, supportive government measures and, above all, international cooperation.

Indonesia’s Climate Policy: Lost in Translation?
Dependency, Governance, and Communication in Climate Policy
Indonesia has committed to achieving net zero emissions by 2050, but it faces substantial challenges in reaching this goal. The country is heavily reliant on coal, both for its electricity generation and export earnings. Phasing out fossil fuels and enhancing climate action will require a comprehensive approach that integrates national policies with local implementation, overcomes financial and structural barriers, and builds on international cooperation. It will further be crucial to foster a deeper climate awareness at all levels.

EU-Japan Critical Raw Materials Alliance
How the EU and Japan could benefit from large-scale cooperation in the field of rare earth elements
In the face of growing geopolitical risks, including the use of critical minerals as a tool of economic coercion, the EU and Japan need to deepen their cooperation and promote efforts to reduce their dependency on China. Therefore the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS) and the Nakasone Peace Institute (NPI) propose an ambitious cooperation, including EU-Japan public-private funds, joint procurement and stockpiling, collaboration on environmental measures and technology development, and the establishment of a critical raw materials club.

Kazakhstan’s Energy Transition
Tackling the Challenges on Kazakhstan’s Path to Carbon Neutrality
Kazakhstan is the first Central Asian country to set ambitious targets for renewable energy and carbon neutrality. This makes Kazakhstan a pioneer in the region’s energy transition, but the country faces significant challenges. Despite the progress made so far, there is a need for profound sectoral reforms, effective carbon pricing, and the right balance between economic growth and environmental responsibility to achieve a sustainable and low-carbon future in the long term.

Creating the Space for Competitive & Resilient Digital Europe
Streamline Enforcement or Risk Prosperity and Safety
Europe has developed a powerful regulatory toolbox to address digital challenges. For Europe’s SMEs and startups to scale up, it is not enough to invest in our infrastructure and innovation. We must clear space in the market. The effective enforcement of EU law against large, non-European companies is crucial. A taskforce of Chief Enforcement Officers with an overarching commission approach could deploy enforcement instruments strategically and coherently – without the need to further legislate.

Nigeria’s Energy Transition
Approaches for an efficient and pragmatic energy transition and climate protection
Africa’s largest economy is rich in both fossil fuel and renewable energy resources. Nonetheless, the country is faced with severe energy access deficits, stifling its economic growth, industrialisation, and sustainable development. A just and efficient transition to a sustainable energy system requires a combination of political, technological and financial measures. The goal is to ensure fairness, inclusivity and alignment with national priorities in the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources.

Successful structural change through climate-neutral industrialisation
How can the generally desired structural change towards climate-neutral industries be achieved? In Germany, the path to this goal can vary considerably from state to state: Federal States with existing industries need to secure a larger supply of clean energy, while states in the north in particular already produce more than enough clean electricity but do not have enough industrial customers for it. In our study the authors look particularly at Schleswig-Holstein as an example.

The Economic Race in Southeast Asia – and why Europe is falling behind
How Europe can compete with China, Japan, and the United States?
In rapidly emerging Southeast Asia, global economic powers are vying for influence. While China, the United States, and Japan have strategically repositioned themselves in the region, Europe risks falling behind. What unites these three nations is their use of various models of cooperation between government and business as part of a comprehensive strategy to support their companies' market entry into Southeast Asia. Europe should learn from the strategic adjustments of its competitors and align its political measures more closely with the interests of European businesses in the region.
