For the eighth consecutive year, the European Parliamentary Research Service (EPRS) opens its events for the New Year with a series of presentations by some of its own policy analysts on ten of the major issues that are likely to shape the coming twelve months. The issues young Europeans and the European elections, fake reality and disinformation in a year of elections, the delivery on the twin transition, climate overshoot and adaptation, the future of the EU automotive sector, financing Ukraine's recovery and reconstruction, prosecution of international core crimes and reparation for victims in Russia's war on Ukraine, El Niño's knock-on effect on food security, the 2024 US elections, and India's rise.
