Euromesco Annual Conference
The Annual Conference of the EUROMESCO network, of which the "United States of the World" with the Fondazione Mediterraneo has been a member since its inception, took place in Brussels.
The EuroMeSCo 2024 Annual Conference aimed to shed light on possible future scenarios in the Euro-Mediterranean region and to contribute to the decision-making process by providing concrete answers to future challenges.
The world is increasingly complex, turbulent, and contested. It is facing the highest number of active conflicts since the end of World War II, with emerging actors gaining significance in the international order. Meanwhile, we navigate an era of technological advancement (AI), widespread misinformation and climate change continues to accelerate. The Euro-Mediterranean region is not immune to these challenges. The longstanding conflicts in Syria and Libya have recently been joined by the escalation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Similarly, the interests and stances of actors such as Russia, China, the US, or Turkey have changed drastically in recent years and months, and migration in the Mediterranean is a constant that may be exacerbated by the effects of climate change. Both the world and the Euro-Mediterranean region are entering a new phase in which the scope and speed of change is exceptional.
