🌍 Empowering the Next Generation Through Climate Education

Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time, yet many schools still lack the resources and tools needed to prepare students for a more sustainable future.

The TIDES project addresses this challenge by integrating climate change education, digital literacy, and inclusion into primary education, with a particular focus on rural and island communities—areas that are among the most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change.

Through the innovative use of digital storytelling, TIDES empowers teachers and students to explore environmental challenges, develop critical thinking skills, and create meaningful digital narratives inspired by their local environments. From coastal erosion to biodiversity conservation, the project encourages young learners to become active contributors to a more sustainable future.

• Mykonos International Initiative
• Antalya Social Development Association- Antalya Toplumsal Gelişim Derneği

Pact on Migration and Asylum entered into application

On 12 June 2026, the Pact on Migration and Asylum started to apply in all EU Member States. Adopted in May 2024, the Pact has overhauled the EU’s migration and asylum framework and now forms the centrepiece of the EU’s new approach on migration. For the first time, the EU has a comprehensive migration and asylum framework in place, with strong external border protection, fair and firm asylum rules, and a balance between solidarity and responsibility.

Code of Practice on marking and labelling AI-generated content

The European Commission published the final Code of Practice on marking and labelling of AI-generated content. The Code is voluntary and sets out practical steps to help providers and deployers of generative artificial intelligence (AI) systems meet the AI Act transparency obligations that will apply from 2 August 2026.

From that date, the AI Act will require clear labelling in key cases. Deepfakes and AI-generated or AI-manipulated text published on matters of public interest must be clearly labelled. Users must also be informed when they are interacting with an interactive AI system, such as a chatbot. These transparency requirements help people recognise when content has been generated or altered by AI, reducing the risk of deception and manipulation.

Commission launches two calls for evidence on the future ocean and water research and innovation strategy

On 15 June 2026, the European Commission has launched two calls for evidence to help shape the future Ocean and Water Research and Innovation (R&I) Strategy. This key follow-up initiative is expected to be adopted by the end of 2026.

The strategy aims to strengthen Europe’s capacity in ocean and water research and innovation by addressing persistent challenges such as fragmented coordination across EU, national and regional levels, and barriers to bringing innovations to market. It will also support efforts to tackle increasing pressures linked to climate change, pollution, biodiversity loss and water scarcity.

The two calls for evidence will support the development of a coordinated source-to-sea approach, connecting rivers, groundwater, lakes, coastal areas and seas to better address interconnected environmental and societal challenges.

The ocean R&I Call for Evidence focuses on ocean-related research and innovation priorities, including marine ecosystems, ocean observation, marine knowledge and the sustainable blue economy. The water resilience R&I Call for Evidence, addresses freshwater systems, water resilience and efficiency, and innovative solutions for sustainable water management.
