[Urban President Ursula von der Leyen Delivers State of the Union Address, Focusing on AI, Climate, and Supply Chain Risks] ⑴ In her annual State of the Union address, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen stated that we are currently in a "critical era," highlighting security threats and calling for a European version of the security consultation mechanism, the establishment of a European Security Council, and strengthening the EU's domestic security response capabilities. ⑵ The EU plans to introduce the EU Children's Digital Protection Act, which aims to ban children under 12 from using social media, restrict personal accounts for users under 14, and require platforms to design safe products for young people. The bill still needs to be reviewed by the European Parliament and member states. In the autumn, the supporting framework for the Digital Services Act will be updated, and the focus will be on promoting the application of industrial AI in five key areas: healthcare, transportation, food and agriculture, high-end manufacturing, and defense and aerospace. A series of key industry initiatives will be announced in November. ⑶ Europe is warming at approximately twice the global average. This year, forest fires have burned approximately 620,000 hectares in many areas, resulting in crop losses of approximately 11 million tons. The EU will launch a heatwave response plan, establish a European fire-fighting coordination force, release a new climate resilience framework in October, designate 95 highly vulnerable areas, and vigorously develop climate adaptation-related technologies and industries. (4) The EU proposed promoting energy electrification, aiming to double the share of electricity consumption by 2040; it also stated its intention to reduce external dependence on key raw materials, planning to establish a European Key Raw Materials Authority to ensure the stockpiling of materials for industries such as electric vehicles, semiconductors, and clean energy equipment. (5) The EU proposed granting Canada the first EU quasi-associate member status to further deepen bilateral cooperation and address current changes in the global trade landscape.
