Open strategic autonomy ensures the capacity to cope alone if necessary but without ruling out cooperation whenever possible. It relies on foresight to identify threats and ensures resilience by anticipating the required responses. Can the resulting preparedness also prevent crises (or dissuade others from creating them) by normalising internally situations that would else become emergencies?

The Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) is a temporary instrument that is the centrepiece of NextGenerationEU funds - the EU’s plan to emerge stronger and more resilient from the current crisis. Denmark has has received 1.551 million euros from these funds. Out of these, 26.8 million euros will be invested in the conversion of municipal ferries into electric ferries. This will allow cleaner travel among the Danish islands and a considerable reduction in the local CO2-emissions.This infoclip illustrates an example of an electric ferry bus currently operating in central Copenhagen and the Agersø Omø ferries that are to be become electric by 2030.

The national recovery and resilience plans, through which the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) is implemented, have a strong focus on energy, investing €88.49 billion (17.9 % of their resources) in the policy area. The European Commission proposed new REPowerEU chapters to the national recovery and resilience plans, using sums still available for RRF loans, some fresh resources and voluntary transfers from other EU instruments. The REPowerEU plan is designed to end the EU's dependence on Russian fossil fuels and accelerate the green transition. In this third and last episode of the chronicle, Alessandro D'Alfonso, the Head of the Next Generation EU Monitoring Service at the EPRS, will delve into the relevance of the Next Generation EU Recovery Instrument in the face of the ongoing energy crisis in Europe. #NextGenerationEU
