The world looks likely to be facing a series of major long-term challenges in the 21st century, ranging from pandemics to climate change to cybersecurity to migration. There is therefore an urgent need to prepare for these scenarios. This policy dialogue looked at these types of long-term challenge and what could be done to overcome them. Discussions revolved around a report entitled ‘Now for the Long Term’ produced by the Commission for Future Generations.
The European Politics and Institutions Programme covers the EU’s institutional architecture, governance and policymaking to ensure that it can move forward and respond to the challenges of the 21st century democratically and effectively. It also monitors and analyses political developments at the EU level and in the member states, discussing the key questions of how to involve European citizens in the discussions over the Union’s future and how to win their support for European integration. The Programme has a special focus on enlargement policy towards the Western Balkans, questions of EU institutional reform and illiberal trends in European democracies.
