  14. RT by @TheProgressives: 🇲🇪 On the week of the #EUWesternBalkans summit in Tivat, the Friends of the Western Balkans (FoWB) met in Montenegro to place regional cooperation in the Western Balkans at the centre of the discussion. On this occasion, they issued the official joint statement "Call for a progressive EU enlargement". Find out more.
    ➡️ bit.ly/WhatDrivesEnlargement

    The discussion provided a platform for exchange among members of the European Parliament, representatives of national parliaments from the Social Democratic family and a broad network of experts to:
    🔍 Reassess whether and how regional cooperation can still function as a credible instrument of enlargement
    ⚙️ Discuss the risks of the instrumentalisation of the #RegionalCooperation as a platform for accessing funding or consolidating political alliances
    🇭🇺 Examine the implications of recent political developments in Hungary for the enlargement process
    🌱 Present the challenges and opportunities related to the #JustTransition in the Western Balkans, aligning with EU Green Agenda goals while supporting affected workers and communities

    While new proposals to reform the EU enlargement methodology circulate in Brussels and beyond, it must be underlined that enlarging the Union is, and will always remain, primarily a matter of political will – both among Member States and in candidate countries.

  15. Pietsch, Eyrilmaz, et al studied the relationship between pro-environmental attitudes among students and socioeconomic factors such as inequality, academic and press freedom, and HDI across several countries. The results are not straight forward; they see evidence that inequality in wealthier countries polarizes attitudes.

    "Institutional openness in the form of freedom of information and inquiry does not automatically democratize environmental concern. Instead, it functions as an accelerator of existing inequalities: in highly affluent settings, a free press, in particular, provides an informational infrastructure that is disproportionately leveraged by high-SES families, thereby widening the attitudinal gradient between privileged and marginalized youth."

    This is a serious challenge for educators working towards a just transition. In light of recent critiques of the neoliberal university in the UK, USA, Australia and elsewhere, it also suggests that this model of university education is actually harmful to just transition efforts.

  20. Coal’s chimneys at Liddell are finally coming down, and in their place is a clean energy future for the Hunter. A 500MW battery, renewable industry, and new jobs on a former coal site is exactly the kind of transition we need.
