Europe's mental health in decline and EU taxonomy 'under fire'
This week our podcast focuses on the rise of the suicide rates amongst Europe's youth, the increase of depression among EU citizens, what has been done and what can we do better. To shed some light on how European countries are facing these issues, I spoke with EURACTIV’s editor, Alice Taylor and Laura Marchetti, policy manager at Mental Health Europe. We are also talking about the new EU taxonomy, what it includes, the teething issues, and why we have had reactions from climate activists such as Dominika Lasota and Louisa Neubeur from Fridays for Future. To break down for us, I was joined by EURACTIV’s energy and environment reporter, Kira Taylor.
