Terrorist attacks, populist leaders, destabilised societies or outright failed States, 60 million people fleeing their homes, worse storms, more flooding, higher temperatures, less water and more desertification, fewer forests and less biodiversity, alarming stresses on our nitrate and phosphate cycles, deeper divisions in income levels, associated to better information systems and yet the emergence of more destabilizing fake News, the signs are there to read for all of us !
With more knowledge, why can we not come to better Governance ?
Europe had a tradition of sustainable development. It is a construction of peace and has brought nations together since the end of World War II. Yet our own trajectory is unsustainable in many policy areas. Towards the end of the last century, our policies have moved away from social market economies towards cut throat competition, leaving in EU alone 120 million people at risk of poverty. And digitalisation and robotisation are just beginning to show their effects.
The EU was in the lead at UN level for universal Sustainable Development Goals and fight against Climate Change. It has a responsibility of returning to policies that place Sustainability in the centre f its Governance ! We need to come back to inclusive policies, fairer distribution of wealth produced within the limits of our planet !
It can be done !
