An update on the Green Deal developments

Editorial from the Commissioner for International Partnerships, Jutta Urpilainen

Este informe propone el desarrollo de una hoja de ruta para la adopción de la tecnología en el sistema educativo. El nuevo escenario impuesto por la pandemia de la COVID-19 generó situaciones de complejidad inédita para los sistemas educativos de América Latina, tal como la discontinuidad de la presencialidad escolar, asimetrías en cuanto al acceso a plataformas, dispositivos y recursos virtuales, dispar capacidad en docentes y estudiantes para afrontar la virtualidad, entre otros.

The EU charts a path through the pandemic and beyond with hope and determination.

Nearly one year after its adoption, the European Green Deal has confirmed itself as a top priority of the current Commission. The current crisis has affected neither the level of ambition nor the implementation rate; on the contrary, the Green Deal has become the roadmap for the EU recovery and a model for a global green recovery initiative.

The Commission published its Communication on the new EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 in May. Read on for the current state of play.

Brush up your knowledge about biodiversity. Our planet and the economy depend on it: at least 40 % of the world’s economy and 80 % of the needs of the poor are derived from biological resources. This makes biodiversity loss the most critical global environmental threat alongside climate change — and the two are inextricably linked.

Ensuring the protection of forests and their sustainable use is critical for development in many of the EU’s tropical partner countries.

With the root causes of the pandemic linked to the drivers of biodiversity loss, how can EU development action contribute to a sustainable recovery for a healthier planet?
