Policy Futures Newsletter- June 2023

The second edition of the Policy Futures: EU-Aotearoa New Zealand bimonthly newsletter has been released. The team extends their gratitude to the numerous individuals who provided feedback on the inaugural edition in April. 

This latest issue highlights Europe Day (9 May), the collaboration between the EU and New Zealand on sustainable cities and combating plastic pollution, as well as the recent EU legislative advancements. 

These include the pioneering Artificial Intelligence Act, initiatives for sustainable aviation, marketing standards for agricultural and food products, geographical indications, and more. Appreciation is also expressed for the attendees of the first Policy Futures: EU-Aotearoa New Zealand seminar on sustainable cities, which took place the day before. 

The seminar successfully exhibited the dynamic cooperation between cities in Aotearoa New Zealand and their EU partners within the framework of the International Urban and Regional Cooperation (IURC) programme.
