European Commission lets low-carbon cements down with proposed ETS benchmark reforms [Promoted content]

Euractiv.com - Thu, 12/14/2023 - 12:00
The EU’s Emission Trading System (ETS) is a cornerstone of EU climate policy, working to cut greenhouse gas emissions by making the biggest polluters pay. While the recent revision of the ETS directive tries to make the tool more effective, progress risks being watered down for cement – one of the world’s most carbon-intensive industries – by the proposed Free Allocation Regulation (FAR). The Alliance for Low-Carbon Cement & Concrete calls on legislators to level the playing field for low-carbon cement and concrete solutions to flourish.

The European Union’s governance approach to tackling disinformation – protection of democracy, foreign influence, and the quest for digital sovereignty

This article presents an overview of the characteristics of disinformation in the digital age, outlines the evolution of the EU’s efforts to tackling disinformation, and provides an overall analysis of its governance approach along policies, actors, and policy instruments. On this basis, we analyse its compatibility with the EU’s quest for digital sovereignty. Main findings are that the EU has maintained a notably stable approach by combining soft and hard instruments within a co-regulatory framework that involves private and public actors. We conclude that an interplay of the nature of disinformation, the setup of big online platforms, EU regulation, and the exposure to foreign influences creates a complex set of competing factors that facilitate and constrain digital sovereignty.

About 45 women councillors from Vlora, Shkodra and Tirana regions participated in three tailored information sessions organized by the OSCE Presence as part of its Women Municipal Excellence Programme #WoMEP, during the first two weeks of December 2023.

The primary objective of these activities was to strengthen the effectiveness and efficiency of newly elected women councillors. By equipping them with the necessary tools, the information sessions sought to empower these local representatives, enabling them to excel in their roles. Furthermore, the participants actively engaged in discussions to identify their needs and expectations, contributing to the strategic planning of WoMEP activities for the year 2024. The women councillors also delved into setting development priorities for local governments and mastering the intricacies of municipal budgets and fiscal policies.

Since 2020, WoMEP stands as a flagship initiative in the Presence's efforts to foster gender equality at the local level. This innovative program is specifically designed to empower women councillors serving in Albania’s 61 municipal councils, emphasizing critical aspects such as gender equality, leadership, and management skills. The ultimate goal is to support and guide the women councillors, fostering tangible changes within their respective local councils.
