iNform the present
iNspire the future
Our content approach is simple. We want to counter fake news & better iNform society by simplifying existing policies through the individual & his, her, their comparative views. We also want to break cultural & societal walls by sharing evidence-based experiences & diverse perspectives in order to iNspire forward-looking policies capable of responding to future challenges.
Tackling climate change will require an enormous energy system transformation. Can we afford to say “no” to any technology that reduces CO2 emissions? Is nuclear energy the villain that we often think it to be? As the debate around this continues, the EU’s positioning of nuclear energy in the Taxonomy Regulation–its new classification system for sustainable activities–could make all the difference.
Last year in Germany, the Supreme Court capped job centre penalties, effectively removing the legal requirement to seek employment. Is the paradigm shifting? Could this be the precursor to universal basic income (UBI)? And will UBI really create the utopia its advocates hope for?
The COVID-19 crisis is giving Europe a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Let’s take it.
Five years ago, Europe faced a crisis of migration. Today it faces a crisis of migration policy.
In light of the recent EU Parliament’s motion for a resolution on the anti-racism protests following the death of George Floyd , if we ever hope to make a lasting systemic change via the avenue of policy, those with white privilege — including me — first need to acknowledge our role in systemic racism. As I reflect on the kind of person I want my soon-to-be-born child to become and the kind of world I want him to find his way in, I can’t help but ask what are we prepared to give up for the sake of a more equal and healthy society?
The announcement of the European Green Deal was Europe’s “man on the moon” moment and– until recently– a priority for the EU in their growth strategy before COVID-19 struck. Where does this ambitious commitment stand today in the midst of our global pandemic? Will we still see Europe making its way to the moon?
Gender equality will remain a far-off dream if domestic violence continues to rise. Violence paralyses women from actively participating in our economy. Do we really want to withhold the potential of half the world’s population?
Who owns environmental protection? Is it Europe? Returning to Africa after developing a European mindset on environmental protection, I was obliged to break down my own misconceptions to see the bigger picture…
Saving the environment requires more than surface cleaning… It requires us to go deep into the crevices of our capitalist system to clean out high risk activities while rethinking organisational structures. With Sustainable Finance the EU attempts a systemic deep cleaning of our financial systems for the sake people & planet alike.
