Grafik zur Panorama-Analyse 2023

The results of the Panorama-Analysis 2023 show several opposing trends: On the one hand, progress in sustainability and societal resilience is stagnating, while on the other hand, progress is being made in research and innovation. The EU's economic foundation appears to be crumbling, weighed down by high inflation and bureaucratic regulations. Nevertheless, there is progress in the EU's political capacity to act and in global connectivity. The EU's role as a global foreign policy actor is being highlighted by member states, especially after the Russian war of aggression on Ukraine. However, the security environment remains tense. The report stresses that an active EU global foreign policy is needed to counter these challenges and that the EU should seize its window of opportunity.
