This study outlines the EU's efforts to strengthen resilience against hybrid threats using a whole-of-society approach, identifying challenges and best practices from member states.
In May 2021, a study commissioned by the European Parliament highlighted the EU's commitment to countering hybrid threats by adopting a whole-of-society approach. It emphasized the necessity for improved societal resilience and the need for shared situational awareness among member states. The study presented best practices from Finland, Sweden, and Australia, demonstrating the importance of coordinated responses and overcoming challenges related to silo mentalities in governance. While progress has been acknowledged, significant barriers in commitment and collaboration among EU institutions remain.
Confidence: High
The study focuses on defensive strategies and preparations against hybrid threats within the EU context.
