The COP15 in Kunming as a stress test for EU’s biodiversity diplomacy

The EU aims to become the world champion of biodiversity with the European Biodiversity Strategy 2030, and its 2030 targets for biodiversity are set to be adopted at the Biodiversity Summit in Kunming, China in October 2021.

Extra steps needed to maximize EU’s influence on international climate policy

With the Paris Agreement and the Green Deal, the European Union (EU) has a good basis on which to take an important position in international climate policy.

The reality of climate spending

With the Green Deal and the climate law, the European Union is showing its green ambition. However, the question is whether it will be just fine words, or whether there will be action.

CAP: salvation or Achilles' heel of Europe?

The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) was established after the Second World War, but not without a struggle. Establishing a joint policy in such a fragmented and complex policy area as agriculture, and the way in which this was done, is exemplary for the often opportunistic and nationalistic attitude of countries and cooperation in Europe. The central question in this article is therefore whether the CAP has turned out to be Europe's salvation or Achilles heel.
