The Policy Brief provides recommendations for business and management schools on the implementation and monitoring of Gender Equality Plans

This is a summary of the key ingredients of evidence based teaching approaches and interventions that are effective in building resilience to extremism among young people. It also details support factors in schools and other education settings that maximise the benefits and impact of such interventions. 

This thematic study reviews the available information on the contribution of biodiversity for food and agriculture (BFA) to the resilience of crop, livestock, forest, fishery and aquaculture production systems to environmental change and uncertainty. It summarizes evidence that links BFA at genetic, species and landscape levels to the resilience of production systems; it discusses the contributions of BFA-based resilience-strengthening strategies to livelihoods, food security and nutrition; and identifies strategies for using BFA to enhance resilience. 

This White Paper details two components, the Cyber Resilience Framework (CRF) and the Cyber Resilience Index (CRI), which guide organizations on their cyber-resilience journey. The CRF (and subsequently the CRI) was developed as a forwardlooking solution to promote more effective practices across digital ecosystems.

This briefing is dedicated to one of the pillars representing policy areas for European relevance – the digital transformation pillar – for which, along with the green transition, the RRF Regulation setsa specific spending target. The briefing aims to give an overview of why the digital transition is one of the key policies in focus under the RRF, what the RRF Regulation requires in that respect, and the approach taken by EU Member States.

The Ukraine war is the first hybrid war blurring the lines between physical and non-physical threats. What role will digital technology play in this striking paradigm shift? And how vital is it for our societies to be digitally resilient? In this paper we will look at four pillars of Digital Resilience: 1: Cybersecurity and cyber governance; 2: Digital Infrastructure; 3: Supply Chain resilience; 4: Agile procurement mechanisms for Emerging and Disruptive Tech (EDTs).

This strategy aims to better enable Europe to play a leading role in global economic governance, while protecting the EU from unfair and abusive practices. This goes hand in hand with the EU’s commitment to a more resilient and open global economy, well-functioning international financial markets and the rules-based multilateral system.

In this paper, five grand challenges for companies and governments to work on and help inform the next generation of industrial strategies, have been identified. The paper proposes a framework to facilitate the discussion between the public and private sectors and structure the conversation on the future of industrial strategies

The Dutch NRRP includes 21 reforms and 28 investments divided into six components. t is one of the most ambitious among the Member States of EU as regards the share of investment devoted to the green transition and digital transformation. 

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for resilient health systems worldwide. This report aims to provide a framework for health and social care preparedness beyond the current crisis. Key components include identifying resilient health system elements, strengthening capacity, ensuring care for vulnerable groups, and implementing "resilience tests" for health systems. Recommendations emphasize workforce training, R&D evaluations, combating disinformation, tech integration in care, emphasizing primary and mental health care, and data sharing. The European Commission is advised to invest in comprehensive health system resilience tests and promote learning communities among Member States.

This report assesses pollination risk in private sector supply chains. Of 27 studied companies, public disclosures showed limited action on pollination risks. Yet, some companies recognize its operational, regulatory, and marketing implications and are exploring pollinator-friendly farming. Key challenges include understanding crop vulnerabilities and establishing a compelling business case. Recommendations include building a stronger business case, enhancing knowledge on crop vulnerabilities, and integrating pollinator-friendly standards. 

The present work describes the state of art of the experience made by the Province of Potenza (an Italian local authority of subnational level) in accomplishing the recent UN global agreements goals and targets. In particular it illustrates the progresses made in implementing locally the #weResilient strategy, a risk-informed sustainable development policy-making action at territorial/local levels based on a structural combination of environmental sustainability, territorial safety and climate change contrasting policies.

Based on the Commission assessments of national Recovery and Resilience Plans, this paper provides an overview of two specific dimensions of such analysis - the governance and control structures set up at national level for implementation of the national plans. The briefing summarises in an annex the relevant references in the Commission documents. It also presents, in the introduction, a high level analysis of some related elements of the national plans, as assessed by the Commission and related reports and initiatives. It also refers to the relevant legal framework in the Recovery and Resilience Facility Regulation.

This analysis builds on a preliminary spatial workflow and on evaluated resilience metrics to analyse transport network structure in the context of national food transport network resilience. For a total of 90 countries, it considers road, river and rail transport infrastructure, along with trade ports, border crossings, and import and export quantities. It then measures food transport network resilience for each country through three main indicators: proximity-based resilience, relative detour cost and alternative route availability.

This report assesses European countries' resilience during the financial crisis that began in 2007. Four key resilience indicators were used: crisis impact, recovery, medium-term effects, and 'bouncing forward'. Findings indicate that resilience rankings vary by criteria. A broader socio-economic perspective, rather than purely economic, changes resilience scores for countries like Bulgaria and Hungary. Notably, while countries like Italy and Spain lagged post-crisis, Germany and Malta showed improvement across several domains. Important factors linked to resilience included pre-crisis government spending on social protection and political stability.

This document sets out the role of LRFs. It highlights some of the key aspects that demonstrate robust compliance with the duties under the CCA and Regulations and suggests issues, processes, systems and activities that responders will need to consider when establishing effective mechanisms to deliver work through the LRF.

This UK Government Resilience Framework is a plan to strengthen the underpinning systems that provide their resilience to all risks. The core of the Framework is built around three fundamental principles: the need for a shared understanding of the risks faced; the need for focus on prevention and preparation; and that resilience requires a whole of society approach.

This report provides a compass to help policy makers—both local and national—meet their objectives to make cities greener, more resilient, and more inclusive. It outlines what policy instruments are available; who wields these instruments; and how policy choices could be tailored, prioritized, and sequenced for effective implementation.

This document outlines policy recommendations derived from the TOMORROW project, aiming to empower local authorities in becoming leaders of climate-neutral transitions. Focused on three key pillars – political ambition, structural reorganisations, and internal capacity building – the recommendations offer insights and success stories from pilot cities (Brasov, Brest Métropole, Dublin Region, Mouscron, Niš, and Valencia). The lessons learned encourage local decision-makers to foster collaborative and co-creative processes, elevating ambitions, building capacities, and strengthening networks for effective climate-neutrality roadmaps.

This document summarises the key strategies that influenced the resilience of European health systems during the COVID-19 pandemic and asks how emerging lessons can help improve resilience to future shocks and strengthen health systems more generally.
