Habeck addressed the political challenges the EU faces in the era of great power competition, and a changing global order. He discussed pathways to strengthen the EU internally, and to increase its capacity as a regional and global actor. Specifically, he emphasized how the EU can succeed domestically and play a leading role internationally in the fight against climate change, in managing the digital transformation of our economies, and in preserving and strengthening liberal democracy at home and abroad.
