Our new European Green Deal Risk Radar analyses the state of play of the 13 most important EU laws of the European Green Deal and identify – in 13 scorecards – the potential risks these EU laws face in view of being delayed, undermined or even withdrawn. We also show the benefits that these EU laws offer and provide a timeline highlighting when potential risks and windows of opportunity are likely to emerge.

From democratic resilience to democratic security

E-paper
Based on the 2024 political guidelines and mission letters to the new European Commissioners, the EU’s approach towards democracy seems to have shifted from a focus on democratic resilience towards democratic security. After a thorough examination of the EU’s 2019-2024 democracy agenda, this study presents recommendations for the next legislative cycle.

Strengthening the EU's global capacity to act

Policy Paper
The EU's reactions to the current challenges in the areas of security and trade policy highlight that a resolute and coherent common European foreign policy depends on the political will of Member States and their willingness to overcome their differences. The aim must be for Europeans to jointly consider their international commitment across different policy areas and act accordingly in a strategic manner. But the institutional reforms of the past have not provided the necessary push forward. In this sense, the recommendations for action in this paper are to be understood primarily as a call to Member States to make better use of the existing scope for action within the EU treaties.
