This briefing gives an overview of the different kind of EU funding for Africa and Latin America. Short explanations of the different types of funding are given and tables are provided with the different amounts targeting Africa and Latin America. The main EU budget instrument for funding for Africa and Latin America is the Neighbourhood, Development and International Cooperation Instrument – Global Europe (NDICI). Besides the NDICI there are other funds that address humanitarian aid and emergency responses. Funding is done through different means. For example, grants, loans, investments and budget support. All these different types of funding have their pros and cons and target different issues in the partner regions. For 2024, the European Commission is planning a midterm revision of the Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) 2021-2027. It is not yet clear if this will also have influence on the planning and implementation of the NDICI.

The European Investment Bank 2022 Climate Survey is the fifth edition of the survey. An annual project seen as an important way to hear from people around the world and understand how climate change is impacting their lives. This year’s survey highlights that many people in Africa and the Middle East are taking action themselves to adapt to climate change — an average of 57% overall but more than 70% in some countries. The message we hear is that people in these countries are ready to do more about climate change. Our message is that the European Investment Bank is here to help.

Eurodac 2022 Statistics is the annual report that presents a detailed compilation of the data in the different Eurodac categories.

The last decades have seen unprecedented development in wireless communication technologies (mobile telephony, Wi-Fi). The imminent introduction of 5G technology across the EU is expected to bring new opportunities for citizens and businesses, through faster Internet browsing, streaming and downloading, as well as through improved connectivity. However, 5G, along with 3G and 4G, with which it will operate in parallel for several years, may also pose threats to human health. This STOA report aims to take stock of our current understanding of the health effects of 5G.

Las últimas décadas han experimentado un desarrollo sin precedentes en las tecnologías de comunicación inalámbrica (telefonía móvil, Wi-Fi).

This report provides an overview of the opportunities that next generation virtual worlds may bring in different sectors such as education, manufacturing, health, and public services among others. This potential will need to be harnessed in light of the challenges the EU may need to address along societal, technological, and economic and policy dimensions. We apply a multidisciplinary and multisectoral perspective to our analysis, covering technical, social, industrial, political and economic facets. The report also offers a first techno-economic analysis of the digital ecosystem identifying current key players in different subdomains related to virtual worlds.

Telecommunications networks use radio frequency electromagnetic fields to enable wireless communication. These networks have evolved over time and have been implemented in successive generations.

Las redes de telecomunicaciones utilizan campos electromagnéticos de radiofrecuencia para posibilitar la comunicación inalámbrica. Estas redes han evolucionado a lo largo del tiempo y se han implantado en sucesivas generaciones.

Las formas en que las sociedades, las instituciones y los ciudadanos se relacionan con la naturaleza y la valoran han desempeñado un papel clave en las crisis interconectadas de biodiversidad, cambio climático, recursos naturales y salud a las que nos enfrentamos. Este informe explora cómo replantear las relaciones entre los seres humanos y la naturaleza. Examina cómo la comprensión holística de la profunda interconexión de los seres humanos con otras formas de vida y ecosistemas podría conducir a nuevas motivaciones para proteger la naturaleza y acelerar la transformación social que necesitamos para vivir bien dentro de los límites del planeta.

This report presents the implementation of the activities of the EMCDDA’s work programme for 2022, the first year of the multiannual Single programming document (SPD) 2022-2024. The report mirrors the work programme for 2022, which, in line with the EMCDDA Strategy 2025, presents the activities of the EMCDDA within the three main areas of work: health, security and business drivers. While the EMCDDA has clear objectives and priorities in each area, it is important to note that the multifaceted nature of the drugs problem means that these areas are interlinked and complementary. Therefore, for the purpose of this executive summary, a section that includes transversal work is presented first.
