Published 2024 – The Systems Transformation Hub (STH) has released a policy paper: Building a Secure and Thriving Europe: A Systems Approach to the 2024-2029 EU Strategic Agenda. This comprehensive brief provides the Von der Leyen II Commission with actionable recommendations to shape a greener, safer and more competitive Europe.
As Europe faces critical challenges, including geopolitical tensions, climate change and growing inequality, the STH highlights the urgent need for transformative change. The policy paper outlines five key recommendations to steer the EU towards a resilient economy that prioritises human wellbeing within planetary boundaries: adopt a provisioning systems approach, implement an integrated value-based industrial strategy, develop an EU land-use strategy for resilience, transform education and leadership to drive transformative change and modernise EU governance to meet the challenges of the 21st Century.
This publication reflects the Systems Transformation Hub’s commitment to integrating systems thinking into European policymaking. By providing evidence-based, actionable insights, the paper aims to inspire transformative change across the EU’s governance, economy and society.
