Recently, the European Commission adopted a resolution onThe second Strategic Foresight report on "EU Competence and Freedom of Action" looks at the future of the EU's opening up of strategic autonomy in an increasingly multipolar and competitive world order from a multidisciplinary perspective。The report identifies four global trends affecting the EU's capacity and freedom of action: climate change and other environmental challenges, digital hyperconnectivity and technological change, pressures on democracy and values, and eventual changes in the world order and demographics, and identifies 10 key policy areas where the EU should consolidate its global leadership。European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said that almost every day Europeans are aware of the direct impact of global challenges such as climate change and digital transformation on their personal lives, and feel that democracy and European values are being questioned from within and without。Europe must adapt its foreign policy to the changing world order, and a better and earlier understanding of these trends can help address these important issues in a timely manner and steer the EU in a positive direction。The future is unpredictable, but a better understanding of the key driving trends, uncertainties and possibilities will strengthen the EU's ability and freedom to act in the long run。The Strategic Foresight Report will help the EU stay ahead of the game, increase strategic ownership and establish global leadership by 2050。
