Our Collective Interest: Why #Europe’s problems need global solutions and global problems need European action In this report #FRIDE and its partners in the European Think Tanks Group (#ETTG, which includes German Development Institute / Deutsches Institut für Entwicklungspolitik, European Centre for Development Policy Management (ECDPM), FRIDE and Overseas Development Institute (ODI) examines the five most pressing global challenges facing the incoming European Union (#EU) leadership: a fairer world economy, climate change, #peace and #security, #democracy and human rights, and poverty and inequality. They argue that tackling these challenges is vital both for global welfare and for Europe’s own security and prosperity. The publication calls on EU leaders to recognise the interconnected nature of these global challenges and act rapidly and with determination to address them, including through a High Representative for Foreign Affairs that is responsible for all external relations including development; through commissioners that move beyond their silos to work together; and through enhanced scrutiny by the European Parliament to strengthen accountability on these issues.
