Recovery plan analysis says EU will fall short of meeting 2030 digital targets

An analysis of 12 recovery plans submitted by European Union member states seen by EURACTIV ahead of publication indicates that the investment proposed will see the bloc falling radically short of the digital targets it has set itself for the end of the decade. The analysis, conducted by consulting giant Deloitte and set to be published on 21 June, focuses on the recovery plans of 12 member states submitted to the European Commission in order to unlock funds from the bloc’s historic post-pandemic recovery fund. The study looks at to what extent the proposed investments would be sufficient to meet the ambitious Digital Decade targets laid down in the Digital Compass 2030 presented by the Commission in May.

The Brief, powered by FACEBOOK – The next war over water

We Europeans take water for granted. Barring the occasional ban on using hosepipes during heatwaves, we use as much water as we like, when we like. It won’t be like that for much longer. Climate change has already forced many cities in Europe to drill even deeper for groundwater. Within the next decade, Europeans are likely to face the twin dilemmas of either too much or not enough water, as both droughts and floods become more frequent and extreme. As with other precious commodities, the question of access to this water will become intensely political. By and large, policymakers are yet to treat water supply with the importance it deserves. Projections show that already by 2025, 1.8 billion people will live in countries or regions facing absolute water scarcity. Yet only 5% of international climate finance is allocated to climate adaptation, and 1% to protecting and providing clean water for vulnerable communities.
