Key conflicts Habitat loss:
Biodiversity loss:
- Climate change - Food chain disruption - Unsustainable agriculture - Invasive species
- Deforestation - Degradation - Fragmentation
Key terminology: - Biodiversity - Ecosystems - Net-zero goal
Measures in place:
- The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) - The EU Birds and Habitats Directives - The European Green Deal --> The Biodiversity Strategy for 2030
Food for thought.... How can the EU ensure more effective implementation of its policies and take more concrete measures towards solutions?
INTA Child Labour in the EU: How should the EU and its Member States work towards making global supply chains of EU companies free of child labour?
1 in 10 children worldwide are subjected to child labour, and the EU continues to benefit from it
Relevance of the Topic

Measures in place
Key Terms
Key Conflitcs
No binding measures for performing due diligence through the supply chain at EU level. UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and OECD Guideline for Multinational Enterprises Member states of the EU have started implementing their own policies. The European Commission's draft for new supply chain legislation.
ITRE
Energy Dependency and Geopolitics - How can the EU balance a secure energy supply with a dependency on non-EU states?
Current war in Ukraine has had major impact in EU‘s energy landscape
ACER, CEER and IEA are responsible for covering issues for energy-related matters
Russia is the main EU supplier of fossil fuels, natural gas and crude oil
A vast array of institutions has made it difficult for the EU Commision to successfully manage the energy consumption and imports of all of its Member States
Events in Ukraine have shown too much reliancy on a single energy supplier
International agreements to be difficult and complex
Key Actors
Measures in Place
Non EU States: Russia, USA, Iraq and Norway
Southern Gas Corridor - a plan to reduce the EU‘s dependency on Russian energy by building a new natural gas line from Caspian region to Turkey
European Council and European Commission Germany‘s Vice Chancellor Robert Habek struck up a deal with the UAE and Qatar for a independent energy deal
International bodies within Europe
Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER)
Council of European Energy Regulators (CEER)
Italy aims to purchase more gas via the Southern Gas Corridor and from African countries like Algeria
TRAN Rural Mobility - What can the EU do to increase the mobility of citizens in rural areas?
59% European citizens who live in rural areas said that it was difficult, or even impossible, to travel using public transportation in their areas.
How do you plan on solving this mobility problem?
Resources
Things to keep in mind... Rural areas are less attractive due to less population density. Cars produce more pollution then public transport. Has much initiative been made to solve the transport problem?
