Survival rates have increased markedly over the last 20 years, resulting in more than 12 million persons with a history of cancer in Europe alone. Yet, for some obstacles persist when accessing financial services, even years after the end of their treatment. As part of Europe's Beating Cancer Plan, the Commission is closely examining practices in the area of financial services from the point of view of fostering access for persons with a history of cancer in long term remission. This meeting aims to take stock of progress so far and to continue the dialogue towards ensuring that only necessary and proportionate information is used when assessing the eligibility of applicants for financial products. More details to follow. The Forum brings together Nepali and European businesses, to build and further strengthen trade and investment ties between investors of EU member states and Nepal. It targets facilitating joint investments and projects that can support Nepal's vision to be prosperous, supported by private sector led sustainable economic growth. What happens when diverse stakeholders from the DFS ecosystem unite with a shared vision The remarkable journeys of the Digital Financial Services Working Groups in Malawi and Ethiopia offer a compelling answer. Supported by UNCDF, the European Union EU, and the Organization of African, Caribbean and Pacific States OACPS, under the DFS4Resilience programme, these groups transitioned into full-fledged associations, setting a new benchmark for collaboration in the digital financial services sector.   The event will bring together experts and practitioners from Member State representations, business and trade associations, companies, consultancies, auditors and other stakeholders. Its goal is to showcase ongoing initiatives and discuss ideas for further mechanisms to support companies that apply the new reporting standards.  The ESRS started to apply to the first companies in scope of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive CSRD as of financial year 2024. Effective and well-targeted support initiatives can help to reduce costs and burden for companies. Such initiatives can be developed at European, national and even regional and local levels. In addition to helping companies under the scope of the CSRD, support initiatives might also benefit SMEs who are not facing legal reporting requirements but who nevertheless face an increase in demand for sustainability information as a result of the so-called "trickle-down effect".     The European Commission invites interested companies and stakeholders to register for this hybrid event. Register for the event For physical attendance registration is now closed. For online participation, registrations will be open until 9 May 2024 23:59 CEST On 16 May, the Equality Platform meeting will be hosted by Florence School of Regulation in Florence, and will bring together all actors involved in the Equality Platform activities - Directorate-General for Energy representatives, Platform members, signatories and project partners.

Climate change is high on both national and European political agendas as all countries need to address the environmental challenges. With this workshop, we aim to focus some of this attention on immediate and future, but inevitable, impact of climate change on international and domestic security affairs and related policy implications. Climate change no longer is considered solely as an environmental issue thus its implications are considered in a variety of contexts stemming from social, through cultural, agricultural, industrial to economic. The documented effects of climate change like global average temperature increase, rise in sea levels, and altered weather patterns generate security consequences, presenting new challenges to societies like intercommunal tensions, changes in rates and types of crime, new legislations and questioning the methods and technology the policing should be performed by. Our ambition is to identify the most pressing trends and threats, and to propose actions that the research community can undertake to support the adaptation process.
