The European Economic and Social Committee is very keen to engage with youth on sustainable development as we are preparing to give input and participate in the UN Conference on Sustainable Development that will take place in 20-22 June in Rio de Janeiro. This Conference is a crucial opportunity to send a clear message for a global change towards a green and sustainable economy and poverty eradication.

O Comité de Acompanhamento UE-Rússia é o órgão interno do CESE responsável pelas relações com a sociedade civil russa.
Desde o início da guerra encetada contra a Ucrânia pelas autoridades da Federação da Rússia, em 24 de fevereiro de 2022, a sociedade civil livre na Rússia foi silenciada por legislação especial e pela crescente repressão, tendo muitos críticos do regime sido forçados ao exílio.
Nas atuais circunstâncias difíceis, o CESE decidiu manter a porta aberta ao diálogo com a secção antiguerra da sociedade civil russa presente no território da UE.
Tal conduziu a intercâmbios frutuosos de informações e pontos de vista sobre a forma como as relações bilaterais devem prosseguir após o fim da guerra e o regresso à liberdade e à democracia no país.

Youth unemployment rates are much higher than unemployment rates for all ages. More than 5 million young people in the EU are unemployed today. This means that one in five young people on the labour market cannot find a job.
As President of the European Economic and Social Committee, but also as citizen, I believe that we all must act for that our children can be better off than us. My generation did not get any problem to get a job. Our children meet problems now. It is a great concern for me as a person, as a father and as a grandfather, as well as President of the EESC. And Georgios Dassis, President of the Employees' Group in the EESC, shares this concern. This is the reason why we decided to gather here today. Georgios would agree with me that leaving the young people aside would mean compromising the future of the EU and of our children.
