Expanding the EU’s Institutional Capacities in the Arctic Region: Policy Briefing and Key Recommendations Published: 7 July 2014 No less than a week after presenting its ‘Communication on the Arctic Region’, the European Commission’s attempts at forging a coherent Arctic policy have already taken a knock back. On 25 November 2008, Greenland has voted in favour of further self-rule away from Denmark with 75% voting ‘yes’ in a vote that had a 72% turnout.
Moving Out of the Doldrums? Perspectives on Change in Russia-EU Relations Published: 7 July 2014 Russia and the European Union are increasingly bound together – if not by common values, then by virtue of their interdependence.

Women in Times of Change: 1989-2009 Published: 7 July 2014 In the face of the lack of public debate on the role of women in the time of transformation, the publication of the Heinrich Böll Foundation Regional Office in Warsaw attempts to present a multidimensional dialogue about the transformation experiences, giving voice to women.

Gender Issues 2008: Gender-Sensitive Education in the Czech Republic, Poland, Slovak Republic and Ukraine Published: 7 July 2014 Assuming that it is important not only to implement the “hard core” EU legislation concerning the equality policy, but to implement it in the areas within competences of EU member countries as well, in 2008 the Warsaw Office of the Heinrich Böll Foundation, in cooperation with partner organisations from the Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia and Ukraine, implemented a project analysing the system of education in individual countries in the context of gender equality.
Gender and Climate Finance: Double Mainstreaming for Sustainable Development Published: 7 July 2014 Climate change is real, it is happening already, and its impacts on people are not gender-neutral.

The Economics of Nuclear Power: Is nuclear power economically viable? What are the economic risks? Published: 26 June 2014 The deep divide over nuclear power is nearly as old as its commercial use. The early dreams of its proponents have faded, whereas the high risks have remained, as well as the danger of misuse by military interests. Terrorism has introduced a dramatic, concrete threat. Global warming and the finite nature of fossil fuels do not dispel the major safety issues associated with nuclear power, and the ‘accident-proof’ reactor has remained an unfulfilled promise now for decades.
