Justice must be fair, accessible and effective.

This European Day of Justice, we highlight how justice protects our rights and upholds the rule of law in Europe and beyond.

From supporting fair trials to strengthening cross-border judicial cooperation, the EU works to ensure access to justice.

The International Criminal Court, announced as the laureate of the Sakharov Prize, also highlights the importance of accountability and human rights worldwide.

The world needs the UN. And the UN needs us all.

This United Nations Day, we reaffirm the importance of working together to tackle global challenges no nation can solve alone.

Over the years, the EU has worked hand in hand with the UN and partners around the world to address issues that affect us all, from peace and security to human rights, climate change, and global health.

And we will continue to work together.

Europe will always stand for international law and multilateralism.

When crisis hits, solidarity is our greatest shield. 🛡️

For 25 years, the EU Civil Protection Mechanism has turned European solidarity into swift, life-saving action.

From first responders on the ground and field hospitals to firefighting planes and aid delivered across borders.

When we act together, no community stands alone.

The quietest cities aren't created by chance.

They're designed that way.

Beyond its long-term sustainability commitment, Zaragoza is tackling one of Europe's most overlooked environmental challenges: noise pollution.

Instead of reacting to noise issues after they happen, the newly designated 2028 European Green Capital is building quieter neighbourhoods and green buffers right from the start.

Hi Georg Engelmann (npub1l0p…84ly)! Thanks for your comment! There will be no such thing as ‘chat control’ and no general monitoring of online communications. What will be done is that companies will have to detect material that is child sexual abuse material. The technology used will not be able to read the content of your messages. Companies are currently already allowed to do this on a voluntary basis. This has been essential for child protection.

Under EU digital law, Booking.com must properly assess and address risks linked to fraudulent listings and phishing scams.

It must also clearly label listings that have paid for a higher position in search results.

Booking a holiday should be exciting, not risky. Europeans deserve to book with confidence, knowing platforms are taking their safety seriously. We’ll make sure they live up to their responsibilities.

AI should help humanity, not harm it.

“AI-supported mammography can identify earlier and more cancers during screening. And as a result, more women can survive.”

That’s just one example of what AI can do when we get it right.

But there are limits.

Our approach is clear: make the most of AI, address the risks, and work with global partners to keep the frontier safe.

🇪🇺 How many languages do you speak?

From everyday expressions to words that capture an idea or feeling in a way your own language doesn’t, languages give us different ways to understand and connect with the world.

Today, we celebrate Europe’s linguistic diversity and the 24 official languages of the EU. 🇪🇺

Did you know that there is no universal sign language?

In the EU, sign languages are as diverse as spoken ones – varying across countries, ages, and social groups.

Through our Strategy for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities 2021–2030, we’re committed to leading by example: making our events and content more accessible.

Everyone deserves to have a right to freedom of expression, receive and share information, and take part in society on an equal basis.

We hear your urgency. We share it. The climate crisis demands fast, decisive action. That's what we're doing. We’ve made a legally binding commitment to become climate-neutral by 2050. We’ve already adopted laws to cut emissions by at least 55% by 2030 and we’ve now proposed a new 2040 target: a 90% reduction in net emissions compared to 1990. We're acting with clear targets, binding laws, and massive investment to drive the clean transition forward and protect our planet for future generations.

You're right, tackling climate change is one of the biggest challenges of our time, and we are acting. We've made the Green Deal our roadmap to become the first climate-neutral continent by 2050. We’ve set binding targets in EU law, put in place legislation to reduce emissions by at least 55% by 2030, and proposed a 90% reduction by 2040. Almost €400 billion in EU funding is supporting green investments. The clean transition isn’t easy, but we committed to delivering it.

Housing is a right, not a privilege.

Yet, affordable housing is a major concern for citizens across Europe, especially in cities and popular tourist destinations.

With our Affordable Housing Act, we're providing national, regional and local authorities with the tools and legal certainty they need to assess housing availability and affordability where the pressure is greatest, and to determine the appropriate next steps.

The European Research Council has awarded €705 million in Starting Grants to 421 early-career researchers across Europe.

This gives them the opportunity to pursue bold ideas, build their own teams, and shape the future of science.

We'll also welcome 21 researchers, currently based in the US and Canada, who will move to Europe to carry out their projects. This is almost double last year's number.
