Thursday, 12 October, 18:30-20:00, Rue Belliard 135 This event, organized by the House of European History is organising a roundtable debate on recycling, as part of its exhibition and project Throwaway – The history of a modern crisis. It delves into the historical and anthropological aspects of recycling while adopting a European perspective. It aims to critically examine the practice of recycling, tracing its origins back to ancient times and contrasting it with modern concepts of disposability. The discussion, featuring experts from various fields, explores the reasons behind the contemporary push for waste management and resource transformation and raises questions about its relationship with prevailing development models. The event provides a platform for insightful dialogue and reflection on the history and significance of recycling in European societies. It is available as an in-person event and a live broadcast on the museum's YouTube channel. Find out more here and register in advance to participate online or on-site.

Tuesday 19 September 14.00-15.30 UN House, Boulevard du Régent 37, 1000 Brussels and online Interactive panel: Barry Andrews, MEP (Renew), Chair of the European Parliament SDG Alliance Udo Bullmann, MEP (S&D), Co-Rapporteur of the 2023 EP SDG Report Koen Doens, Director-General of DG INTPA Frances Fitzgerald, MEP (EPP), Shadow Rapporteur of the 2023 EP SDG Report Petros Kokkalis, MEP (The Left), Co-Rapporteur of the 2023 EP SDG Report Youth Representative (TBC) Moderated by: Camilla Brückner, Representative of the UN System in the EU Four years ago, the President of the European Commission sent mission letters to all European Commissioners, mandating them with implementing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in their respective policy areas. EU institutions, civil society and other European stakeholders have made substantial efforts to translate this commitment into action. However, as we cross the mid-way point to achieve the 2030 Agenda and its Sustainable Development Goals, we are increasingly off track in our efforts to build a more sustainable and fairer future. The lasting socio-economic consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, persisting conflicts and the raging triple planetary crisis of climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution are affecting the lives of millions of people, leading to increased inequalities and consequences on the most vulnerable. On 18-19 September, world leaders will meet at the UN General Assembly in New York for the 2023 SDG Summit, to mark the beginning of a new phase of accelerated progress towards the SDGs with high-level political guidance on transformative and accelerated actions leading up to 2030. The event “Halfway to 2030: renewing Europe’s action for the Sustainable Development Goals” will echo this momentum from Brussels, to discuss how to accelerate SDG action from a European and global perspective, with an interactive debate between policy makers, EU officials, civil society, youth activists, think tanks and the broader Brussels community. We look forward to your active participation! RSVP HERE
