    COP29 and climate progress in a volatile age with Stephen Minas

    🔊📺 Available on Spotify, YouTube, and Apple Podcasts With just days until the US presidential election and the COP29 climate conference, the global response to climate change hangs in the balance. Rocked by pandemic, war and a cost-of-living crisis, the commitment of countries and citizens to ambitious climate policy is being tested as never before. But the climate crisis has not gone away. In this episode, Stephen Minas, author of the FEPS Primer ‘Climate Progress in the EU and the World’, and Thomas Fröhlich, FEPS Policy Analyst on Climate, discuss international climate politics, what actually happens at COP and what to expect from COP29. They also consider the unique capacity of progressives to shape a climate politics of ambition, justice and solidarity, including through delivering a ‘just transition’. The need for better communication of climate policy, the opportunities of climate action and reasons for hope amid crisis are also discussed. 📗 https://bit.ly/ClimateProgressEU

Together, they discuss the role of young voters, the rise of radical right parties, and how Social Democrats can better connect with younger generations.

    Migration: it’s time for a paradigm shift! with Ottilia Anna Maunganidze

    🔊📺 Available on Spotify, Youtube and Apple Podcast FEPS Head of Communications Ainara Bascuñana interviews Ottilia Maunganidze, lawyer and Head of Special Projects in the office of the Executive Director at the Institute of Security Studies, based in South Africa, and member of the Progressive Migration Group. Following the Progressive Migration Group Conference on September 10, Ottilia discusses the New Pact on Migration and Asylum from the viewpoint of African countries and the pressing need to abandon the current stagnant and toxic narratives on migration that portray migration as a threat when it is a major driver of development and prosperity. Over the course of two years, the Progressive #Migration Group - equally composed of EU and African experts - produced a series of policy proposals on a human-rights and development approach to #Migration and asylum and recommendations on adopting a new narrative.

  5. Financing the green & social agenda with Matthias Kollatz

    Financing the green & social agenda with Matthias Kollatz

    Matthias Kollatz has been working on public finance in various positions: as Vice-President of the EIB in Luxembourg but then as Financial Senator of Berlin. Here he shares his views about what changes the great financial crisis of 2008-9 brought about, and how important it has been in a post-crisis model to elevate promotional banks into a more central role. He acknowledges some important steps of this financial transition, like the Juncker Plan that was launched in 2014. However, he believes that the German debt break (Schuldenbremse) is a product of a time when the investment needs of the economy were underestimated, and in particular there was no proper estimation of the financial implications of the Green Deal. In order to deliver enough and the right type of climate investment, the EU and its member states need to upgrade their public and promotional banking capacity, but also reform their fiscal rules. Through similar innovations, adequate financing of social needs like housing could also be within reach. It is not the green and social ambitions that should be lowered but the common investment capacities of Europe that need to be upgraded.

  6. Reporting for a stronger economy with Iain Begg

    Reporting for a stronger economy with Iain Begg

    🔊 Available on Spotify and Apple Podcast Professor Iain Begg (European Institute, London School of Economics and Political Science) shares his views about two reports which have become key talking points in 2024 in EU circles: one written by Enrico Letta and another one authored by Mario Draghi. Though reports often fade away after they are published, the EU is bound to discuss the internal market as well as competitiveness to develop a coherent economic policy for the coming cycle. According to Prof. Begg, a thorough analysis of the EU's finances (not just the conventional budget, but the wider 'galaxy' of off-budget mechanisms) would be justified. A fresh approach, including establishing an EU level financial framework and a sharper focus on EU public goods is needed. A new progressive reform should build on the legacy of the Juncker Plan (2014) but also the Next Generation EU (2020) which may inspire common solutions in support of our climate but also defence policies. In 2025, the European Commission needs to present its proposals for a new Multiannual Financial Framework. Now is the time to launch wide-ranging debates –without taboos— on key elements of the EU budget: cohesion as well as agricultural policy, but also new expenditure programmes. Reforms to these major policy fields will be necessary given the broader interest in EU enlargement which, at least from a budgetary perspective, should not be as tricky as one might believe.

    Post-election steps forward for EU socialists with Sergei Stanishev

    🔊📺 Available on Spotify, Youtube and Apple Podcast In this episode of FEPS Talks we welcome Sergei Stanishev, who is leaving the European Parliament after ten years. He summarises his insights gathered as a MEP, but also as the President of the Party of European Socialists, a position he held between 2011 and 2022. He assesses the EP election outcome from a socialist perspective, and reflects on the evolution of EU social democratic politics over the recent decades. The conversation reaches out to topics including the Green Deal, migration, as well as the prospects of creating peace in Eastern Europe again. Stanishev concludes the podcast by outlining political tasks and strategic priorities for the upcoming period. Stanishev reminds the listeners that originally, social democracy faced the rise of industial capitalism, which had to be reformed. Today, the mission is to tame the formidable technological and economic trasformations, and put them in the service of the people.
