🌍 Today, Ursula von der Leyen was re-elected as President of the European Commission 👉 Here's our take on her speech and the published political guidelines:
On the bright side:
✅ Green Deal Continuation - Still in play, aiming to merge climate protection with a prosperous economy.
✅ Ocean Pact - Although not mentioned in her speech, it's included in the political guidelines.
Key points:
1⃣ Among the concerns identified in the 1st minute of her speech : The state of our planet, especially for the younger generation.
2⃣ Main priorities: prosperity, competitiveness, defense, security, EU independence, and democracy.
3⃣ Green Deal's future:
- Clear intention to stick to it, yet, with pragmatism, technology-neutrality and innovation a focus on implementation and investment 💸
- Emphasis on reconciling climate protection with economic growth = presented "as a matter of intergenerational fairness" ⚖️
- Next environmental agenda: climate impacts on agriculture, sustainable water management and climate adaptation 👩🌾
4⃣ Promotion of citizen engagement.
5⃣ Calls for social justice and fairness, with references to current geopolitical situation (Ukraine, Gaza, China).
🔍 Our conclusion:
➡ Environmental action is given less prominence but remains on the agenda.
➡ The ocean was not mentioned in the speech but is in the political guidelines.
➡ We have immense work ahead, but we're ready to take it on!
Count on us ! 🌿💪
