Reforming Europe: Climate Crisis, Human Capital, & the Draghi Report - Seminar recap
On 11 November, 2024, OHPA hosted a multidisciplinary discussion to address the complex and interconnected crises facing Europe today, including climate change, energy insecurity, economic stagnation, and geopolitical tensions. The event provided a platform for thought leaders to critique, analyze, and expand on the ideas presented in the Draghi Report, while highlighting their own perspectives.
The speakers collectively called for greater transparency and inclusivity in policymaking, stressing the importance of engaging citizens in Europe’s energy transition. They noted that systemic reforms must address social inequalities to ensure widespread support and equitable outcomes. While the Draghi Report emphasizes investment and innovation, the speakers argued that Europe’s success depends on fostering unity and vision in the face of overlapping crises.

By blending economic expertise, historical analysis, and journalistic insights, the speakers offered a multifaceted perspective on the challenges ahead. Their discussions highlighted the need for bold, coordinated action that balances long-term economic competitiveness with environmental sustainability and social equity. Europe’s future, they concluded, hinges on its capacity to embrace innovative solutions while remaining grounded in shared values such as inclusivity, democracy, and collective resilience.
