We believe that a safe, sustainable, peaceful and prosperous Arctic is important not just for the Arctic itself, but also for the EU and actually for the whole world.
Today, together with the High Representative @JosepBorrellF, we unveil an updated Arctic policy.
We will support efforts to reduce black carbon emissions in the Arctic by 33% by 2025 acting against major sources of pollution affecting the Arctic regions.
We are a global leader in the fight against climate change, and we are ready to play our full part.
Total support to science, research, and innovation, contributing to the design of a European Polar Research Area for green, digital, health and innovative solutions, engaging indigenous knowledge.
Our commitment to Arctic research will continue through Horizon Europe.
Tehkem see teoks! Let’s #MakeItReal for Estonia! 🇪🇪
Green light to Estonia’s €969.3 million recovery and resilience plan. It will help the country:
🔵 build a stronger health system
🟣 digitalise its society
🟢 accelerate its green transition
We are launching the European Health Emergency preparedness and Response Authority (HERA).
It is another building block of a stronger #HealthUnion and a major step forward for our crisis preparedness → europa.eu/!FUVnRV
🌍 Outbreaks of infectious diseases are on the rise.
With HERA, we will be better prepared to anticipate potential health crises & address possible gaps in medical countermeasures.
It will work closely with other EU & national agencies, researchers & industry. #HealthUnion
What happens when an emergency hits?
HERA will ensure critical equipment, medicines, vaccines and other medical countermeasures – such as gloves and masks – are available, when and as necessary.
It can activate emergency measures for research, manufacturing and funding.
