Policy Voices | Voices for Choices: Citizens want governments to be more proactive on defence and cybersecurity

Citizens in Europe want their governments and the EU to be more proactive on defence and cybersecurity. This is one of the conclusions of a new study soon to be published by Debating Europe, the citizens’ engagement unit of Friends of Europe. On climate, citizens still feel unheard by policymakers and corporations. They want stronger policies, more corporate accountability and they don’t want to bear the cost of eco-friendly options.

In this episode of Policy Voices, host Catarina Vila Nova is joined by Adam Nyman, Director of Citizens Outreach and Engagement at Friends of Europe. He came on the show to talk about Voices for Choices, a report that will be published by Debating Europe on 7 April that is the result of an engagement of more than two thousand young citizens across Denmark, France, Germany, Italy and Poland. They were asked about the big ticket items in Europe nowadays: sustainability, prosperity, security, and democracy.
