Europe’s Strategic Role in Tackling Today’s Global Challenges

Open to the Public

As global challenges have become more pressing and more complex, Europe’s strategic role in tackling these challenges is becoming more apparent. Christos Stylianides, European Commissioner for Humanitarian Aid and Crisis Management, will speak about the European Union (EU) as an indispensable global actor and will present its characteristics.

Co-sponsored by the Center for European Studies, the Project on Europe and the Transatlantic Relationship and Europe in the World Seminar.

Location: Lower Level Conference Room, Adolphus Busch Hall.

Date: Fri, Sep 27, 2019 Time: 11:00am - 12:30pm Location: Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies

He will also explain why this is important and will present the “tools” the EU has such as humanitarian and development aid, its key role in combating climate change and brokering international agreements.

Stylianides will also argue that the EU-US partnership is more than security-oriented. It’s complementary and based on shared values, principles and interests. In doing so, Stylianides will present the common challenges the EU and the US face, such as Africa, climate change, and the defense of multilateralism.
