R2: Green solutions for more crisis-prepared, resilient and safer societies

1. Recognises the need for European cooperation and policies transnational infrastructure to build safer and more resilient societies. The EU and neighbouring partners must be able to respond to crises and build up the resilience of people, communities, infrastructure and institutions.

2. Emphasises the need for strong community-based safety strategies and volunteering structures to build resilience and contribute to assistance and recovery in a crisis. A top-down approach risks ignoring the realities on the ground. Governments must work together with civil society and non-governmental organisations to build processes for cooperation and contribution. Governments should use the expertise and capacity of these organisations and their volunteers.

Governments should use the expertise and capacity experience of these organisations and their volunteers in their decision-making processes.

3. Calls for investments in the information landscape in order to strengthened measures to prevent and combat misinformation and to build defence and resilience systems against foreign influence activities and disinformation, as well as strong civic and digital literacy education and information efforts to ensure that people can recognise and prevent the spread of mis- and disinformation.

3. Calls for strong civic and digital literacy education and information efforts, in order to foster critical thinking among citizens and ensure that people can recognise and prevent the spread of mis- and disinformation, as well as the protection of journalists, whistleblowers and civic space.

4. Calls for investment in infrastructure so it can withstand different shocks and develop early warning systems. We must guarantee access to water, food, electricity, heat and other basic supplies during crises. Governments must ensure necessary reserves to guarantee the supplies in emergencies. Our energy supply must be built on sustainable and modern solutions that can survive shocks and support fast recovery e.g. from blackouts.

4. Calls for investment in infrastructure so it can withstand different shocks and develop early warning systems. We must guarantee access to water, electricity, heat and other basic supplies during crises. Contingency plans must be suitably designed to ensure their smooth implementation, while mobility and the required logistics for the transport of the necessary goods needs to be ensured, including alternative routes to bypass damaged infrastructure. Governments must ensure necessary reserves to guarantee the supplies in emergencies. Our energy supply must be built on sustainable and modern solutions, including modular network design, that can survive shocks and support fast recovery e.g. from blackouts. Decentralised energy grids and micro-grids should be prioritised to prevent blackout cascades.

5. Demands larger and consistent investment in local services and their resilience, including emergency response, healthcare and social services to ensure availability also in crises. Our civil-defence funding must be reinforced through funding, including public shelters, emergency training, and crisis communication systems throughout the EU. The EU should coordinate European supply algorithms, common procurement and coordinated stockpiling while also facilitating cooperation through programmes such as RescEU.

The EU should coordinate European supply algorithms, common procurement and coordinated stockpiling while also facilitating cooperation through programmes such as RescEU.

6. Supports the creation of a European common defence force through harmonised defence budgets and shared capabilities, explicitly invoking Article 42(7) TEU as the legal basis for mutual defence.

5. Demands larger and consistent investment in local services and their resilience, including emergency response, healthcare and social services to ensure availability also in crises situations. The EU should coordinate European supply algorithms, common procurement and coordinated stockpiling while also facilitating cooperation through programmes such as RescEU. Designated funding like RescEU and the Interreg programme should enable regions and communities to cooperate transnationally and build shared infrastructure.

6. Highlights the need for nature-based solutions to prevent and mitigate threats. For example, nature-based solutions can help prevent flooding and erosion, rebuilding biodiversity helps promote healthier environments, and restoring wetlands can act as barriers for defence purposes.

6. Highlights the need for nature-based solutions substantial investments and protective measures for climate and environmental protection, to prevent and mitigate threats and natural disasters. For example, nature-based solutions can help prevent flooding and erosion, rebuilding biodiversity helps promote healthier environments, and restoring wetlands can act as barriers for defence purposes.

   Those who cause damage must be held responsible. Stricter legislation is needed to hold corporations and companies accountable for actions that harm the environment and the climate. Preventive measures like the EU Nature Restoration Law, must be expanded and consistently applied throughout the EU.

6. Highlights the need for nature-based solutions to prevent and mitigate threats while local policies, in many places, still replace green areas with concrete worsening the ability to combat the impact of climate change in certain neighborhoods. For example, natureNature-based solutions can, in the other hand, help prevent flooding and erosion, rebuilding biodiversity helps promote healthier environments, and restoring wetlands can act as barriers for defence purposes.

8. Demands investment in cybersecurity and the information landscape. These need to be safeguarded through investment in open-source digital infrastructure to defend our democratic institutions from manipulation and cyber threats without compromising civil rights.This includes building a sovereign European tech industry and ensuring key data remain stored within EU territory.

8. Demands investment in cybersecurity and the information landscape. These need to be safeguarded through investment in independent, open-source digital infrastructure to defend our democratic institutions fromagainst manipulation and cyber threats , without compromising civil rights. The EU must adapt public procurement procedures to ensure investments in European companies and networks, thereby decreasing dependencies on the US and other countries with weak safeguards for data and customer protection.

9. Demands that the EU and European governments support the United Nations as the forum for global cooperation and promote diplomacy, peacebuilding, and global cooperation based on international law while also being ready and adequately resourced to defend its values and everyone living in Europe. We must build international partnerships to promote our values of human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, the rule of law, and respect for human rights.
   10. Recognises that marginalized groups, such as women and LGBTQIA+ people are disproportionately affected by crises such as climate-related disasters, economic shocks, and conflicts, which intensify existing gendered and structural inequalities. All EU crisis-preparedness policies must therefore centre feminist and intersectional principles, by integrating the specific needs, rights, and perspectives of these groups into all stages of prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery.

9. Demands that the EU and European governments support the United Nations as the forum for global cooperation and promote diplomacy, peacebuilding, and global cooperation based on international law while also being ready and adequately resourced to defend its values and everyone living in Europe. We must build international partnerships to promote our values of human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, the rule of law, and respect for human rights. This includes strengthening the International Criminal Court and international human rights mechanisms. A strong Europe must also recognise the strategic importance of the Baltic region and uphold the central role of international law in the European security architecture.

   10. Demands the EU to reinforce the RescEU wildfire fleet through more resources and greater cooperation and solidarity between Member States. The EU must possess a supranational wildfire fleet to intervene quickly in case of large wildfires unmanageable by Member States alone. These waterbombing aircrafts should be built in Europe to feed the demand for European products and stimulate the European industry, we call on local requirement criteria in public procurement.
