Discover the Commission's 2024-2029 priorities, from defence and security, to sustainable prosperity, democracy, and social fairness.
Europe is facing significant challenges, from rising costs of living and housing shortages to business and migration management. These challenges are further intensified by broader societal, environmental, security, and economic shifts.
In response, the European Commission has set ambitious goals for 2024-2029 and beyond, guided by seven key priorities. These goals are designed to create a faster, simpler, and more united Union — one that supports its people and businesses, takes decisive action where it can make the greatest impact, and advances shared ambitions.
This vision builds on the European Union’s proven ability to address complex challenges through collective action. By turning plans into tangible solutions, the Commission is committed to ensuring a resilient and thriving future for all Europeans.
