Den 5. juni fejrer vi Verdensmiljødagen. Dagen har gennem det seneste halve århundrede vokset sig større og større og er nu en af de største globale platforme for øget miljøbevidsthed. 2023 markerer 50-året for Verdensmiljødagen. Millioner af mennesker deltager, og blandt dem er regeringer, virksomheder, byer og samfundsorganisationer. I år er Elfenbenskysten vært for dagen i samarbejde med Nederlandene, og de vil fokusere på, hvordan man kan løse problemet med plastforurening. Det gør de med kampagnen #BeatPlasticPollution.

As AI spreads into workplaces, workers and employers are increasingly confronted with applications and software that affect labour relations. While AI systems could be introduced with the explicit aim of improving working conditions, this cannot be expected in general and evidence suggests that it may be the exception. In this podcast, we’ll talk about the impacts that artificial intelligence applications may have on our workplaces and how policymakers and legislators in the EU will need to ensure that it works for and not against us.

De fleste af verdens landmænd arbejder i små landbrug. Selv om størstedelen af dem ligger i udviklingslande, findes der også små landbrug i industrilandene. Faktisk er størstedelen af EU's i alt 10 millioner landbrug såkaldte små landbrug. Ligegyldigt hvordan man definerer, hvad det vil sige at være et mindre landbrug, er det et globalt mål at forbedre deres betingelser.

Året var 1989. Andrea var syv år gammel og boede i Forte dei Marmi ved den Tyrrhenske kyst i Italien. Han var begyndt at opdage verden. Han rejste med familien rundt i Italien og Europa – fra øst til vest og fra nord til syd – og opdagede landegrænsernes virkelighed. Men en dag i november 1989 blev deres syn på Europa fuldstændigt forandret. Fra den ene dag til den anden oplevede Europa et vendepunkt. Hundredvis af historier, dokumenter, fotos og videoklip fra mennesker fra hele Europa. Dette er "Min historie", et samarbejdsprojekt lavet af Europa-Parlamentet, hvor historie og borgernes liv flettes sammen.

At være undersøgende journalist kan betyde, at man skaffer sig fjender på halsen. Også i Europa er der reportere, der udsættes for vold, trusler og andre former for pres på grund af de arbejde, de gør. Dette er, hvad EU gør for at beskytte dem.

Det kan være svært for kvinder at gøre karriere inden for brancher og erhverv, der er mandsdominerede. Kvinder udgør kun en fjerdedel af bestyrelsesmedlemmerne i de største børsnoterede selskaber i Europa, og mange sektorer er præget af en skæv kønsfordeling. Dette er, hvad EU gør for at sikre mere ligestilling.

Hver fjerde europæer kender et offer for vold i hjemmet. Skønt man som offer således ikke er alene, så er vold i hjemmet ofte så tabu-belagt, at man ikke vil tale om det med andre.

Det er aldrig til at vide, hvornår man bliver ramt af Amors pile, og det hænder, at han affyrer dem fra udlandet. Hvis du skal giftes med en person fra et andet EU-land, kan du forvente at støde på en række formalia og juridiske trakasserier. Ægteskaber mellem personer af forskellig nationalitet bliver mere og mere almindelige, og EU bidrager på flere måder til at knytte ægteskabsbånd på tværs af grænser.

Det er ikke så let at bo langt fra menneskemylderet, som man måske skulle tro. Den offentlige service, såsom transport, uddannelse og sundhedspleje, kan være meget begrænsede, og det samme gælder jobmuligheder. I nogle tilfælde er fattigdomsniveauet også højt. Her er tre ting, som EU gør for at hjælpe.

Overdreven pløjning kan være meget ødelæggende for jordstrukturen og føre til jorderosion, tab af organiske stoffer og til en forringelse af den biologiske mangfoldighed. Jordbundsbevarende landbrug er en form for drift, hvor man gør brug af plantedække og forskellige slags afgrøder gennem afgrødeveksling. Her er tre ting, som EU gør for denne form for landbrug.

Kunstig intelligens er en del af vores hverdag, og den påvirker os på flere måder, end vi kan forestille os. Det kan lyde tillokkende at have maskiner til at udføre vores mest trivielle arbejde. Til gengæld kunne man være bekymret for, om automatiseringen i sidste ende vil erstatte menneskers arbejde, hvad der vil få vidtrækkende følger. Hvad gør EU for at håndtere revolutionen inden for kunstig intelligens?

Every year 2.2 billion tonnes of waste are generated in the EU. More than a quarter of it (27%) is municipal waste: everyday waste collected and treated by municipalities, which is mainly generated by households. Data shows that the amount of waste and the way it is managed varies a lot across EU countries, but there has been a shift to more recycling and less landfilling.

To reduce waste and its impact on the environment, the EU has adopted ambitious targets on recycling and landfill and is working on packaging waste. The goal is to promote the shift towards a more sustainable model known as the circular economy.

Hvordan beskytter vi de europæiske institutioners og demokratis integritet i tider med polariserede synspunkter, udbredt desinformation og konflikter på tværs af landegrænser? Forskere og ngo'er over hele Europa undersøger måder, hvorpå man kan gøre samfund mere modstandsdygtige over for kriser og over for udenlandske aktører, der forsøger at blande sig i vores demokratiske processer.  

To af disse forskere er Julia fra Clingendael Institute for International Relations i Holland og Katarina fra Center for Democracy & Resilience ved GLOBSEC Policy Institute i Slovakiet. De har specialiseret sig i staterne i det vestlige Balkan og EU-medlemslande som Ukraine. 

Europa-Parlamentet bakker op om lovgivning, der hjælper med at fremme denne form for forskning og anerkender betydningen af uafhængige organer. Læs mere om, hvordan Parlamentet bekæmper truslerne mod EU-demokratiet her: https://europa.eu/!rg6kY7.

Aimilios og hans team hos Watt4Ever genanvender brugte batterier fra elbiler i nye energilagringssystemer, der effektivt giver batterierne et nyt liv og sparer værdifulde råmaterialer og energi, samtidigt med at man undgår yderligere forurening.

Plenary discusses the latest ruling by the International Court of Justice regarding Israel and the alleged involvement of UNRWA staff in the 7 October attacks The International Court of Justice ordered Israel to take a series of measures to prevent any acts of genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, after South Africa filed an application against Israel at the court in December 2023. It also ordered Israel to take immediate and effective measures to ensure aid can reach people in Gaza. During the debate with the Council and the European Commission on Tuesday afternoon, MEPs also discuss the allegations that 12 staff members of the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA ) were involved in the 7 October attacks against Israel. While several donor countries have suspended their UNRWA funding, the EU said it will take a decision in light of the outcome of the investigation announced by the UN and its subsequent actions.

Antonius MANDERS (EPP, NL), rapporteur, holds a press conference on the Environmental crime directive. Parliament is set to approve new rules aiming to protect the environment in the EU through criminal law. Following a debate on Monday, MEPs are expected to give their final green light to a new directive on environmental crime, as agreed with the member states in November 2023, on Tuesday. The new law provides an updated list of environmental crimes including illegal timber trade, depletion of water resources or breaches of EU chemicals legislation. It also introduces the so-called qualified offence of causing the destruction of an ecosystem, such as large-scale forest fires, and thus comparable to ecocide. Individual offenders, including company representatives, can face prison sentences of up to five or ten years depending on the severity of the crime. This transcription is a result of an automatic process. Please check against delivery.
