Sustainable Trade in the Making? Coherence and Pluralism in the EU’s Open, Green, Digital & Geopolitical Agenda

BSOG Policy Forum Series 2024 co-organized by Paula Hoffmeyer-Zlotnik (CCCP)

Together with the VUB Brussels School of Governance (BSGO) and partner institutions, the Cologne Center for Comparative Politics (CCCP) co-organizes a series of public policy forums on the topic of sustainable trade and its interlinkages with other policy fields from May to June 2024.
 
In the context of the European elections, the series takes stock of the attempts of the outgoing European Commission to make trade more sustainable. It aims to contribute to the discussion on the next European trade agenda by reflecting on the coherence and complexity of sustainable trade and its interlinkages with the areas of environment, digitalization, security, migration, agriculture, and development.
Paula Hoffmeyer-Zlotnik (Post-Doc at the CCCP) will organise a session on trade and migration on 12 June. She will take stock of EU initiatives to link trade agreements and preferential treatment to cooperation on readmission and the return of irregular migrants.
 
The series discusses the synergies and trade-offs with distinguished experts in seven weekly forums on Tuesdays, Wednesday, or Thursdays from 12:30 to 14:00 CET in a hybrid format. The event is free of charge, but registration is mandatory.

Please register here for the session on 12 June. More information on the full schedule can be found here.
