Sebbene la sensibilizzazione e le iniziative per il riciclaggio siano in aumento, nell'Unione europea una quantità significativa di rifiuti in plastica non viene ancora riciclata. Negli ultimi anni l'Europa si è orientata verso un'economia circolare per le materie plastiche. Ma il percorso verso un futuro senza plastica è lungo e ognuno di noi deve fare la sua parte.

Culture plays a fundamental role in human life. It is also an essential source of identity, at local, regional, national and European levels, while making a significant contribution to the EU economy. EU cultural policy relates to cultural heritage, but also to the cultural and creative sector. The EU supports culture through a variety of initiatives, including the European Capitals of Culture scheme. A number of EU programmes also offer funding for cultural projects, for instance the Creative Europe programme, Horizon Europe and New European Bauhaus. As one of the sectors of the economy worst affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, the EU included culture in its coronavirus response investment initiatives and the REACT-EU programme aimed at dealing with the consequences of the pandemic. The European Parliament has called for increased support for culture as part of the post-pandemic recovery efforts.

In 2015, the United Nations adopted the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), to be attained by 2030. The SDGs and the broader 2030 Agenda for sustainable development, of which they form the core, are based on findings that human activities have triggered dramatic changes in the conditions on Earth (climate change and biodiversity loss), which in turn have contributed to the deterioration of human wellbeing. To reverse the trend, there is an urgent need to simultaneously address the multiple causes and consequences of environmental depletion and social inequalities, by developing synergies and managing trade-offs between the SDGs. The European Union has been a leader in drafting the SDGs; it is also a frontrunner in mainstreaming the SDGs in all its policies.

Nel mondo moderno, l'acciaio è un materiale essenziale. Allo stesso tempo, l'industria siderurgica è responsabile di gran parte delle emissioni di gas serra dell'Unione. La produzione di acciaio è uno dei pilastri dell'industria europea ma anche uno dei settori più difficili da decarbonizzare. Per raggiungere gli obiettivi del Green Deal europeo, l'UE deve ridurre la sua impronta ecologica e anche l'industria siderurgica europea deve fare la sua parte. Ma è possibile produrre acciaio verde?

In March 2018, the EU introduced a legislative package on the fair taxation of the digital economy. It contained proposals for an interim and a long-term digital tax. However, there was no immediate political agreement in the Council. As finding a global solution at the OECD level or a coordinated EU approach was not yet feasible at the time, some Member States started designing or implementing their own digital taxes, which gave rise to trade tensions. In this podcast, we talk about taxing the digital economy. We analyse the main challenges, look at EU proposals and new developments to make international tax regimes fit for the digital age.

In May 2020, the European Commission published its 'farm to fork' strategy – 'for a fair, healthy and environmentally friendly food system' – along with the EU biodiversity strategy, as part of the implementation of the European Green Deal. In those strategies the Commission set a target of 25 % of the EU's agricultural land to be under organic farming by 2030, as well as a significant increase in organic aquaculture. In this podcast, we’ll decorticate the Commission’s new plan to promote organic production in Europe.

The EU has contributed to creating the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), established in 2015, as part of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and takes action to implement them through its internal and external policies, as outlined in the 'Towards a Sustainable Europe by 2030' reflection paper, the European Green Deal, the European Commission's political priorities and its work programme. The Sustainable Development Goals also have a regional dimension, sometimes called 'localisation'. Achieving around 65 % of the targets is estimated to require local and regional authority participation. Numerous regions and cities, including in the EU, have expressed support for the SDGs and many have integrated them in their policy frameworks.

In diesen zirkuliert eine besondere Flüssigkeit. Die Außenseite der Fenster kann so die Sonnenstrahlung einfangen und sie in Energie umwandeln. Die Innenseite der Fenster kann den Container dann entweder kühlen oder wärmen.

Oggi l'UE deve affrontare la minaccia del terrorismo. Possiamo tutti concordare sul fatto che la sicurezza deve essere una massima priorità. Organizzazioni come l'Europol combattono il terrorismo, mentre altre come Fenvac si prendono cura delle famiglie delle vittime. Migliorare il funzionamento delle frontiere, aumentare la comunicazione tra Stati membri e criminalizzare atti associati al terrorismo sono alcuni esempi delle misure che l'UE sta prendendo quest'anno.

Scopi comuni: la sicurezza.
