Hike | Guns, Green, Growth: Europe's Budget Trilemma

180

Europe faces a budget trilemma: funding security, decarbonisation and competitiveness without breaking trust between member states, sectors, and generations. This hike maps where tradeoffs are unavoidable and where the right priorities can create complementarities through sequencing and fair burden sharing. It distils practical principles for sustaining legitimacy while setting priorities for 2028 to 2034. //INFO: Wear sturdy shoes and bring drinking water. //INFO: In case of heavy rain, the session is going to take place at CCA-Flora-Hall.
