What did we get up to last year? You can find out in our 2022 activity report: A year in review. What were the highlights and most important topics of last year?

2022 was marked by dramatic events. On 24 February 2022, Russia launched an unprovoked war against Ukraine. Following this aggression, the EESC has been supporting Ukrainian civil society through a number of opinions, conferences and resolutions. We opened our premises to Ukrainian civil society organisations active in Brussels, providing them with a safe place to continue working and keep Ukrainian civil society alive. Our Civil Society Prize rewarded initiatives helping civilians suffering as a result of the war.

In response to the rise in energy prices, the EESC proposed a comprehensive approach to the energy transition, built on the need for a new energy model and an energy-independent EU. And while the EU is still fighting the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, investments in the green and digital transformations are more essential now than ever. The Committee has thus also been supporting the implementation and enforcement of the national recovery and resilience plans.
