SUMMARY:EAPN Annual conference | Beyond Europe 2020 to Agenda 2030: Working together for a post 2020 strategy that really benefits people and planet
DESCRIPTION:EAPN’s annual conference will be 13 June. We will provide a participative reflection space to progress concrete proposals. \nThe conference will aim to: \n\nTo raise awareness of current challenges facing people experiencing poverty in the context of a lacking strategy.\nTo exchange with stakeholders & decision-makers on concrete proposals for the EU post 2020 Strategy.\nTo debate on how to create synergies to benefit people and planet\, as part of a transformative EU and in the context of the new Commission and Parliament.\n\nSee the programme here!\n2020 marks the end of the Europe 2020 strategy that aimed to promote smart\, sustainable and inclusive growth. Despite unacceptable failure to deliver on the key target to reduce those in poverty by at least 20 million people by 2020\, no review or public consultation of the strategy is planned. \nThe main proposals coming from the Commission are through the Future of Europe Reflection papers.  In January 2019 a new Reflection Paper “Towards a sustainable Europe by 2030’’ was adopted. This paper aims to stimulate discussion on the EU’s vision and strategy for the long-term implementation of the Agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)\, as part of a broader debate on the future of Europe and the priority setting for the new European Commission. It sets out three scenarios on how Agenda 2030 and the SDGs could be incorporated into the EU’s priorities. \nOne of the priorities is a socially fair transition to a sustainable economy that should leave no one behind\, yet the paper predominantly focuses on how to deliver green growth\, with the social objectives left to the European Pillar of Social Rights. \nIn 2017\, EAPN’s policy conference Learning from the past to beyond Europe 2020 already agreed key messages on the need for an ambitious post 2020 built on Europe 2020 targets that could deliver an “ambitious social\, sustainable and democratic vision for Europe based on Agenda 2030 and the SDGs”. This strategy should implement the European Pillar of Social Rights and develop an explicit rights-based integrated anti-poverty strategy based on active participation and backed by EU funding. This has been further developed under EAPN’s Future of Europe Position Paper\, calling for support for a sixth scenario. \nThis participative conference comes therefore at a timely moment – just after the election of the new European Parliament and the start of the new Commission\, – to agree concrete demands that can ensure that the post 2020 strategy really delivers on social rights and poverty\, putting SDG 1 at the heart of a truly social and sustainable post 2020 strategy. \nKey speakers\n\nFirst Vice-President\, Commissioner Frans Timmermans\, European Commission (tbc)\nCarlos Susías\, EAPN President/EAPN ES\nVera Hinterdorfer\, EAPN Vice-President/Activist with direct experience of poverty/EAPN AT\nHeather Roy\, Secretary General\, Eurodiaconia\nFreek Spinnewijn\, Director\, FEANTSA\nJana Hainsworth\, Secretary General\, Eurochild (tbc)\nLeida Rijnhout\, Steering Group member\, SDG Watch and Agenda 2030 Multi-Stakeholder Platform\nMary Collins\, Senior Policy & Advocacy Coordinator\, European Women’s Lobby\nGraciela Malgesini\, Chair of EAPN EU Inclusion Strategies Group/EAPN ES\nMarco Cilento\, Senior Advisor\, ETUC\nFirst Vice-President of the European Parliament\, Mairead McGuiness (via video)\n\nPractical information\n13 June 2019\, 9:00 – 13:00\, Area 42\, rue des Palais 46A\, 1030 Brussels\nAround 80 EAPN members\, including people with direct experience of poverty\, and around 50 external stakeholders will participate. \nFor further information on content\, contact Sian Jones (Policy Coordinator) sian.jones@eapn.eu or on registrations Rebecca Lee (Information & Events Officer)\, rebecca.lee@eapn.eu | Tel. +32 2 226 58 50 \nFollow us on Twitter @EAPNEurope \nPhoto:  © Rebecca Lee\, EAPN \nThis event is supported by the European Union Programme for Employment and Social Innovation “EaSI” (2014-2020).
