"As the EU leverages the 2026 Free Trade Agreement (FTA) and its Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA) to diversify CRM supply chains, India becomes a strategic supplier of minerals such as bauxite, lithium, and rare earths. Yet CRM extraction and mining in India has long intersected with indigenous (Adivasi) rights conflicts, where deposits on or near indigenous lands trigger disputes over land acquisition, forest rights, and community consent. India’s formal framework, including the Fifth and Sixth Schedules, PESA, and the Forest Rights Act (FRA), offers robust protections, but implementation gaps and corporate pressures endure. FTA‑driven CRM expansion risks deepening Adivasi land rights conflicts unless EU‑level due diligence and sustainability commitments are matched with effective, consent-based safeguards at the local level. The credibility of CRM‑linked, value‑based supply chains depends on the EU aligning its green‑industrial ambitions with effective protection of Adivasi land rights, as well as on India’s capacity to put Free, Prior and Informed Consent-like (FPIC) safeguards into concrete practice."

"Submarine-cable security has arrived on the European agenda as a sabotage problem, and the European Union has answered it well: a comprehensive Cable Security Toolbox built on operational resilience rather than perfect protection. Read against the empirical record, however, the threat lies elsewhere. Cable damage is overwhelmingly accidental and, in Europe, declining; what climate change alters is not why cables fail but how badly a failure ends. That acute risk concentrates in the Pacific Island Countries, where the cable is second-order infrastructure with first-order consequences: often a nation’s only link, with repair capacity an ocean away and failures that escape the legal and disaster-risk architectures meant to record them. The Toolbox already points the right way. What it invites is not a new instrument but a change of orientation: carrying proven repair, detection and reporting know-how outward, in coordination with partners and on Pacific terms."

"Amid a global healthcare crisis marked by a depleting workforce coupled with ageing population concerns, the fast-paced development of artificial intelligence is often presented as a transformative solution to these issues. Yet, the adoption of the AI Act by the European Union in May 2024 has significant implications for the innovation of AI medical tools. If the European Union wants to play a role in the development of the latest health technologies while maintaining its ethical standards, it should seek collaboration with like-minded partners in Asia, such as Singapore, a country that has established itself as a health innovation pioneer while upholding rigorous regulatory standards."
