For a view on the EU's need for a revamped industrial policy, precipitating a move from being proudly "green" to focusing on being a lean, mean, competitiveness machine, it's worth a read of my esteemed colleagues' article attached. Jan Hromadko John Kleineaschoff Benoit Cormier

🌐 Yesterday in Paris, CEC European Managers and its French member organisation CFE-CGC became the first European Commission social partner to sign and endorse the Universal Declaration of Humankind Rights. https://lnkd.in/diQ6j9tq Both President Maxime Legrand and CFE-CGC National Secretary Maddy GILBERT, were welcomed by Corinne Lepage, former French Minister of the Environment (1995-1997), Member of the European Parliament (2009-2014), and founder and President of the Citizenship, Action, Participation for the 21st Century. 📄 The DDHU statement recalls that humanity and nature are at risk due to the adverse effects of climate change, the acceleration of biodiversity loss, and the degradation of land and oceans. Moreover, the DDHU highlights all of these elements as severe violations of fundamental rights and as unacceptable threats to present and future generations and represents a strong reminder of the 1972 Stockholm Declaration on the Environment, the 1982 New York World Charter for Nature, the 1992 Rio Declaration on Environment and Development, the 2000 United Nations General Assembly resolutions “Millennium Declaration” and “The Future We Want” of 2012.

🧩 Do you know how to #engage the general public, particularly actors involved in public policies, in common #DataSpaces? Join the OECD #Gov2Gov Innovation Incubator ➡ team up with #France.   Frances’s Ministère Écologie Territoires is seeking to engage the general public, particularly actors involved in public policies, in common data spaces. To further their mission, we’re calling for innovative government teams to join the incubator programme and support the Ministry's Innovation Lab with two interrelated challenges:   ⭕ How can we engage the general public, and in particular actors involved in public policies, in the use of common data spaces? ⭕ How can the design of data spaces boost contributions and participation in the common data space, contribute to increased awareness of the added value of data and support the adoption of data-driven and evidence-based mindsets?     Do you want to team up? Learn more about this challenge, the team behind it, and how to join our incubation programme ⤵ Deadline⌛ 7 June 2024   𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘫𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦 European Commission’𝘴 #𝘏𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘻𝘰𝘯𝘌𝘶𝘳𝘰𝘱𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘮𝘮𝘦.   #PublicEngagement | #PublicSectorInnovation | #Incubator

🇪🇺 🗣 🌍 "It’s often said that young people are the citizens of tomorrow. But we only have to look ahead to the forthcoming European election to realise that young people are already active citizens, shaping the policy agenda by themselves. Five EU member states, comprising a quarter of the EU’s population – Belgium, Germany, Austria, Greece (from 17) and Malta – have extended the right to vote to all over-16s. Many argue that this is long overdue, and that other countries should follow. The past two decades have emphasised the vulnerability of young people to global shocks, whether financial crises, COVID or labour market fluctuations. This is principally why the integration and mainstreaming of youth in policymaking has gathered pace since the Lisbon treaty was adopted."
