Send us a textThe curtain has now come down on the COP29 climate summit in Baku. And while a trillion dollar deal for climate financing was done at the last minute, some campaigners have called it a betrayal - as much of that figure will have to come from private financing or new sources which have yet to be agreed.  To consider where the meeting really leaves us, and our planet, on this edition of The Agenda podcast, Juliet Mann speaks to Jeremy Rifkin, Author of many books including "Planet Aqua: Rethinking Our Home in the Universe", Christine Loh, Chief Development Strategist at Institute for the Environment at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Jacopo Bencini from the Florence School of Transnational Governance and Michael Wilkins, Executive Director and  Professor of Practice at the Centre For Climate Finance And Investment at Imperial College London.

How does the past live on within our experience of the present? And how does our decision to speak about or write down our recollections of how things were change our understanding of those memories--how does it change us in the present? Asking those questions back in 2019 brought RTB into the company of memory-obsessed writers like Virginia Woolf and Marcel Proust. Discussing autofiction by Rachel Cusk, Sheila Heti and Karl Ove Knausgaard, John and Elizabeth begin to understand that the line between real-life fact, memory, and fiction is not quite as sharp as we had thought. Joining Recall This Book for this conversation is philosopher Helena De Bres, author of influential articles including “The Many, not the Few: Pluralism about Global Distributive Justice”, “Justice in Transnational Governance”, “What's Special About the State?” “Local Food: The Moral Case” and most recently "Narrative and Meaning in Life". (Her website contains links to her many fine articles for fellow philosophers and for the general public). She has recently begun to work on moral philosophy, especially the question of what makes a life meaningful, and on philosophy of art. John ranks his favorite anthropologists, while Elizabeth wonders whether autofiction necessarily takes on the affect of an academic department meeting--and what that affect has to do with Kazuo Ishiguro. Discussed in this episode: "A Sketch of the Past," Virginia Woolf "Finding Innocence and Experience: Voices in Memoir," Sue William Silverman The Outline Trilogy, Rachel Cusk My Struggle, Karl Ove Knausgaard How Should a Person Be?: A Novel from Life, Sheila Heti An Artist of the Floating World, Kazuo Ishiguro The Moth The Day of Shelly's Death: The Poetry and Ethnography of Grief, Renato Rosaldo Memoir: An Introduction, G.

This community is open to all who want to be involved. Threatened from within and outside by the rise of partisan hyper-polarization, authoritarian buy-in, disinformation and electoral interference, European democracy is under attack on all sides. As Europe needs to address citizens' sense of disenfranchisement, pathways to renewal are necessary. For the Democratic Odyssey consortium, part of the solution lies in creating a standing European People's Assembly that will become a core part of the institutional landscape of the European Union, made of citizens selected by lot, serving on a rotating basis. This project comes at an opportune moment. In the past five years, in Europe, there have been ten national assemblies and around 70 local assemblies on the topic of climate change alone. The EU itself took a huge leap with the Conference on the Future of Europe which integrated transnational, multi-lingual, sortition-based deliberation into the policy making process. The Conference planted a seed which the Democratic Odyssey wants to make flourish. As James Mackay, the project's coordinator, declared in a recent interview with European Alternatives: “we are not aiming at making a ‘perfect' assembly (whatever that would even mean). Our hope is more modest: to offer a “proof of concept” that, in the window between the EP elections but before the new Commissions convenes, can bring grassroots and institutional actors together to consider how citizens' participation can be institutionalized in the longer term.” source

Since 2020, the EU has suffered two large shocks - the pandemic and Russia's invasion of Ukraine - that have increased longer-term fiscal pressures through higher debt and higher public investment needs. As the EU looks to address these challenges, its members are locked in a debate over how to adapt its long-standing fiscal rules to the economic reality that has emerged. Germany is leading the camp that believes the proposed rules are too loose when it comes to tackling public debt, while France and others argue they are too strict. Maria Demertzis joins Thanos Davelis to look at these new fiscal challenges facing Europe, break down the debate over how to reform the EU's fiscal rules, and explore what this means for countries like Greece.Maria Demertzis is a Senior fellow at Bruegel and a part-time Professor of Economic Policy at the School of Transnational Governance at the European University Institute in Florence.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:EU fiscal reforms res­isted by biggest statesThe longer-term fiscal challenges facing the European UnionBrussels makes overture to Berlin with new EU rules to cut down deficit Greece's top court bans far-right party from May electionBarred from polls, a Greek neo-Nazi seeks way back to politicsGreek unemployment rate fell to 10.9% in MarchGreek youth unemployment

-> Livro «Política a 45 Graus». Miguel Poiares Maduro é Diretor da Global Law School da Universidade Católica de Lisboa. É, igualmente, Diretor do Fórum Futuro da Fundação Gulbenkian. Foi até ao verão de 2020 Diretor e Professor da School of Transnational Governance do Instituto Universitário Europeu onde continua a ser Professor Convidado. Foi Ministro Adjunto e do Desenvolvimento Regional de 2013 a 2015. Foi Advogado Geral no Tribunal de Justiça das Comunidades Europeias até Outubro de 2009. É licenciado pela Faculdade de Direito de Lisboa e doutorado pelo Instituto Universitário Europeu de Florença O seu livro mais recente é Democracy in Times of Pandemic (com Paul Kahn).   -> Apoie este projecto e faça parte da comunidade de mecenas do 45 Graus em: 45graus.parafuso.net/apoiar _______________ Índice da conversa: (3:25) Relação entre o populismo nas democracias e o aumento de líderes autoritários.

(1:00:45) Livros recomendados: Imperfect Alternatives, de Neil K. Komesar | Porque Falham as Nações, de Daron Acemoglu e James Robinson _______________ É já esta semana que é apresentado oficialmente o livro «Política a 45 Graus», em 3 cidades do país. Por isso, faz todo o sentido dedicar este episódio a alguns dos temas que abordo no livro -- como a ascensão do populismo e a vaga autoritária mais abrangente em que ele se enquadra, e as reformas possíveis para reconciliar os cidadãos com a democracia liberal.  Para isso, dificilmente poderia pedir alguém melhor do que Miguel Poiares Maduro. O convidado tem-se dedicado a estudar e pensar estes desafios, especialmente, nos tempos mais recentes, enquanto Diretor do Fórum Futuro da Fundação Gulbenkian, um projecto que visa discutir temas importantes para o futuro do Mundo e do país. O Miguel publicou também recentemente, juntamente com o professor da Universidade de Yale Paul Kahn, o livro «Democracia em Tempo de Pandemia», onde reflecte sobre alguns desafios que as democracias vivem e que a pandemia veio tornar especialmente nítidos.  Neste episódio, conversámos sobre os desafios do populismo e do autoritarismo e sobre soluções possíveis para os resolver. É uma altura especialmente importante para ter esta discussão, uma vez que passam já 2 meses desde o início da guerra da Ucrânia -- um exemplo bem nítido dos efeitos (neste caso, externos) da tomada de poder por líderes autoritários. Além disso, conversámos na semana da 2ª volta das eleições presidenciais em França. E se é verdade que Marine Le Pen veio a perder a contenda de forma clara, também o é que teve um resultado bem superior a 2017 -- e, sobretudo,  conseguiu-o (o que é talvez mais importante) já depois da invasão da Ucrânia pela Rússia, que veio expor o perigo das suas associações a Vladimir Putin. O mesmo aconteceu há semanas com Viktor Orban, na Hungria. A ameaça do populismo e do autoritarismo está, por isso, para ficar -- seja nas suas implicações geopolíticas, seja dentro das democracias. A popularidade do populismo (passe a redundância) vem, já se sabe, da insatisfação de muitos cidadãos com o funcionamento do sistema. Por isso, discutimos também algumas soluções possíveis para tornar as democracias mais inclusivas e funcionais. As ideias que vão ouvir são, como não podia deixar de ser, as do convidado, mas quem ler o «Política a 45 Graus» vai provavelmente achar pelo menos parte do diagnóstico familiar.

This event is part of the Environmental Resilience lecture series, co-organised by the IIEA and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). On this occasion, Professor Delbeke argues that sustainable finance has a crucial role to play in delivering on the policy objectives of the European Green Deal, as well as the EU's international commitments to its climate and sustainability objectives. The European Commission has adopted a package of sustainable finance measures, such as the EU Taxonomy Climate Delegated Act, with the aim of making the Union a global leader in setting standards for sustainable finance. Professor Delbeke reflects on these initiatives and considers how the U.S. may follow suit. He also highlights that the delivery of climate finance to support developing countries will be a key determinant of success at the upcoming UN Climate Summit in Glasgow. Professor Delbeke concludes that the transition to a climate resilient future will depend on the development of a resource-efficient economy with a financial system that supports sustainable growth. About the Speaker: Jos Delbeke is a Professor at the European University Institute's School of Transnational Governance, where he serves as the EUI's European Investment Bank Chair on Climate Change Policy and International Carbon Markets. He is also Professor at KU Leuven in Belgium. From 2010 until 2018, Professor Delbeke was Director-General of the European Commission's DG Climate Action. In this role, he was heavily involved in setting the EU's climate and energy targets for 2020 and 2030 and was a key player in developing EU legislation on the Emissions Trading System (ETS). Professor Delbeke was previously European Commission's chief negotiator at the UNFCCC Conference of the Parties, where he was responsible for the EU's implementation of the Kyoto Protocol and pivotal in the negotiations of the Paris Agreement. As an economist, he underlined the role of market-based instruments and of cost-benefit analysis in the field of the environment.

This is a podcast of the series "Spot on Climate" of the Climate area of the Florence School of Regulation. In this podcast, Research Associate Albert FERRARI continues the conversation with Peter VIS, Senior Advisor at Rud Pedersen Public Affairs and Senior Research Associate at the School of Transnational Governance. This second episode focuses on the design and implementation of the upcoming EU proposal for Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), through a discussion on these two questions: - What advice would you give to the European Commission in developing its proposal? - Under what conditions could we do without it? The European Commission will be presenting in June 2021 a proposal for a CBAM for certain imported products to reduce the risk of carbon leakage, which is the risk of companies transferring production to countries that are less strict about emissions. With a CBAM, the price of imports would reflect more accurately their carbon content. This would ensure that the EU’s climate objectives are not undermined by production relocating to countries with less ambitious policies.

This contribution by Thomas Zerdick, Legal Officer at the European Commission's Data Protection Unit, presents the Commission's understanding of the interface between Data Protection and freedom of expression within the EU. The presentation argues that in accordance with the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights Member States the Data Protection framework does apply to this field and Member States may only provide exemptions which respect the essence of the right to Data Protection and follow the principle of proportionality and necessity. The absolute exemption for private and personal processing should only apply when the individual is not disseminating data to an indefinite number of the public. At the same time, Thomas Zerdick emphases the wide margin of appreciation which Member States are allowed here. The talk was the keynote address of the OxPILS Conference 'The 'Right to be Forgotten' and Beyond' held on 12 June 2012. This Conference was the culmination of 'Mending the Tangled Web?

This contribution by Michael Donohue, Senior Policy Analyst at the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), presents a personal perspective on this issue grounded in the OECD's canon. Michael Donoghue argues that the OECD framework has throughout its history emphasised the importance of ensuring the free flow of information. Recent socio-technological developments raise a number of new issues here notably the role of the individuals in putting privacy at risk through the data they create and disseminate. These issues have been under consideration as part of the review of the OCED privacy framework which is now underway.
