A înființat o platformă unde comunitatea musulmană se poate exprima și organizează întâlniri interculturale în timpul Ramadanului. Acest interviu face parte din proiectul „Activi în Europa: creați lumea pe care v-o doriți”, o colecție de povești personale filmate cu ocazia Evenimentului tineretului european din 2023.

Vad är ”koldioxidläckage” och hur kommer gränsjusteringsmekanismen för koldioxid att ta itu med det? EU:s industrier har strikta gränser för de koldioxidutsläpp de producerar. För att kringgå dessa regler flyttar en del företag sin produktion till länder utanför EU med svagare regelverk. Europaparlamentet har godkänt nya regler för att uppmuntra ansvarsfullt beteende från EU-företag och motverka import av billiga koldioxidintensiva produkter som tillverkas i länder utanför EU.

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.

Care work provided in homes and institutions is a public good that is under-valued by society. Most unpaid care work within households is carried out by women. The 'unpaid care penalty' for women in the EU, which is equivalent to the earnings they lost because of this unbalanced distribution of care responsibilities, is estimated to reach €242 billion per year. In this first episode of the chronicle, Dr Meena Fernandes, a policy analyst at the EPRS, will delve into unpaid care work and its impact on women and gender imbalance as well as on our society and economy.

Care work provided in homes and institutions is a public good that is under-valued by society. Care workers are more likely to have low earnings and precarious working conditions. About 9 in 10 care workers are women. In this second episode of the chronicle on care work in the EU, Dr Cecilia Navarra, a policy analyst at the European parliamentary research service, will delve into the paid work sector, paid care workers and their working conditions.

EPRS - Care work in the EU: Working in the care work sector

Most unpaid care work within households is carried out by women. The 'unpaid care penalty' for women in the EU is estimated to reach €242 billion per year. EU action in the care sector has the potential for high returns for society. Fostering the 'equal earner – equal carer model' could generate benefits of between €24billion and €48 billion a year. EU action to promote affordable, high-quality care could produce an additional €90 billion to €160 billion in benefits each year. In this third and final episode of the chronicles on care work in the EU, Dr Meena Fernandes, and Dr Cecilia Navarra, policy analysts at the European parliamentary research service, will delve into how we can use policy to reverse the vicious cycle of care work and its negative consequences.
