Summary:

Report published by the European Commission on 9 September 2020, comprising its first-ever Strategic Foresight Report.

Further information:

The report aims to identify emerging challenges and opportunities to better inform the European Union's strategic choices. It is aimed at supporting the Commission in designing future-proof policies and legislation that serves both the existing needs and longer-term aspirations of EU citizens. The 2020 report presents the rationale for using foresight in EU policy-making, and introduces a comprehensive concept of EU resilience.

In light of the Recovery Plan for Europe in the context of the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic, the report considers EU resilience in four dimensions: social and economic, geopolitical, green and digital. For each dimension, the report identifies the capacities, vulnerabilities and opportunities revealed by the crisis, which need to be addressed in the medium- to long-term.
