Trust cannot be regulated into existence. Former EU Health Commissioner Stella Kyriakides reflects on what the pandemic truly taught her: regulation matters, but resilience comes from empowered citizens who can question what they see. She calls for a greater role for the media, stresses that human rights and democratic values are being tested in real time across all these debates, and argues that empathy, genuinely understanding people's fear, is not soft. It is essential leadership.

LGBTQI+ rights are being weaponised. Kaleidoscope Trust CEO Alex Farrow reveals the uncomfortable truth: Russia and other actors are not targeting LGBTQI+ communities because of who we are. They're using us as a tool to fracture trust, inflame division, and weaken European institutions. The pattern is clear: disinformation spreads online, gets laundered into mainstream politics as 'protecting children' or 'traditional values,' and the real goal, undermining democratic cohesion, is achieved. Moldova shows it can be defeated.

Climate denial has evolved and it's more dangerous than ever. LSE's Pallavi Sethi explains the shift from outright climate denial to "climate delay": accepting the science but using disinformation to slow policy. The target is no longer atmospheric data, it's your energy bill, your heat pump, your daily choices. When people can't make informed decisions, the climate transition stalls. Sound familiar? The playbook is the same one used against vaccines.

RUSI's Eliza Lockhart identifies finance as the connective tissue of all hybrid operations. Cash, prepaid cards, crypto, each time one channel is shut down, operations shift to the next. The problem isn't just tracking the money, it's the speed. And the intelligence to do it sits with blockchain analytics companies and crypto platforms that governments are not yet integrating into their response.

The International Institute for Strategic Studies' Senior Adviser Nigel Inkster, draws a sharp distinction between Russia and China as hybrid threat actors. Russia wants to renegotiate the post-Cold War order. China wants European compliance as a market, and as a society that doesn't criticise the Communist Party. And the West, he argues, has comprehensively failed to develop a credible response to Chinese cyber operations.
