Strategic Foresight Report 2025: "Resilience 2.0"
In September 2025, the European Commission presented its Strategic Foresight Report 2025: “Resilience 2.0,” a forward-looking and proactive approach to ensure that the EU thrives in turbulent times and uncertainty, anticipates new - global and EU specific - challenges, and creates a safe space for citizens and business.
According to the report, addressing these challenges requires a transformative, proactive and forward-looking approach to resilience,
called "resilience 2.0". The Report states that a resilient EU in 2040 would need to deliver on three fundamentals:
- (1) Achieving peace through European security;
- Upholding the values of democracy, rule of law and human rights;
- and (3) ensuring people's well-being.
The report also identifies 8 areas of action for increased EU resilience:
- (1) Developing a coherent global vision for the EU;
- (2) Amplifying internal and external security;
- (3) Harnessing the power of technology and research;
- (4) Strengthening long-term resilience;
- (5) Supporting sustainable and inclusive well-being;
- (6) A new perspective on education;
- (7) Strengthening democracy as a common good;
- and (8) Strengthening intergenerational fairness.
