The discussed memo (https://dgap.org/en/research/publicat...) is part of DGAP’s “What If” series. Each memo in this series envisions a scenario for the future state-of-play in a particular policy field around 2030 and provides context for policy action that can already be taken today. The stories are meant to trigger reflection about Germany’s and the EU’s strengths and weaknesses, and to draw attention toward possibilities for desirable change in a forward-looking manner.
