Recital 7 a (new)
(7 a) Our future is intimately linked to the future of the seas, oceans and coasts. The seas, oceans and coasts provide multiple ecosystem services and a wealth of resources, influence climate and provide many economic opportunities. The concept Blue Economy (every economic activity associated to oceans, seas, ports and coastal areas) was defined by the European Commission in its report in September 2012 Communication from the Commission: Blue Growth opportunities for marine and maritime sustainable growth. Horizon Europe will give special attention to activities related to the Blue Economy in all pillars with special focus on clusters ‘Food and Natural Resources'.

Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part II – point 2 – point 2.1 – paragraph 3
European citizens, state institutions and the economy need to be protected from the continued threats of organised crime, including firearms trafficking, drug trafficking and trafficking in human beings. Strengthening protection and security through better border management is also key. Cybercrime is on the increase and related risks are diversifying as the economy and society digitalise. Europe needs to continue its effots to improve cybersecurity, digital privacy, personal data protection and combat the spread of false and harmful information in order to safeguard democratic and economic stability. Lastly, further efforts are required to limit the effects on lives and livelihoods of extreme weather events which are intensifying due to climate change, such as floods, storms or droughts leading to forest fires, land degradation and other natural disasters, e.g. earthquakes. Disasters, whether natural or man-made, can put at risk important societal functions, such as health, energy supply and government.deleted

2.2.6. Cybersecurity Malicious cyber activities not only threaten our economies but also the very functioning of our democracies, our freedoms and our values. Cyber threats are often criminal, motivated by profit, but they can also be political and strategic. Our future security and prosperity depend on improving our ability to protect the EU against cyber threats. The digital transformation requires improving cybersecurity substantially, to ensure the protection of the huge number of IoT devices expected to be connected to the internet, including those controlling power grids, cars and transport networks, hospitals, finances, public institutions, factories, homes. Europe must build resilience to cyber- attacks and create effective cyber deterrence. Broad Lines – Technologies across the digital value chain (from secure components to cryptography and self-healing software and networks); – Technologies to address current cybersecurity threats, anticipating future needs, and sustaining a competitive industry; – A European cybersecurity competence network and competence centre.deleted

Research and Innovation activities in this Societal Challenge will be overall aligned with the Commission's priorities on Democratic Change; Jobs, Growth and Investment; Justice and Fundamental Rights; Migration; A Deeper and Fairer European Monetary Union; Digital Single Market. It will respond to the commitment of the Rome Agenda to work towards: "a social Europe" and "a Union which preserves our cultural heritage and promotes cultural diversity". It will also support the European Pillar of Social Rights, and the Global Compact for safe, orderly and regular migration. Security research responds to the commitment of the Rome Agenda to work towards "a safe and secure Europe", contributing to a genuine and effective Security Union. Synergies with the Justice Programme and with the Rights and Values Programme, which support activities in the area of access to justice, victims' rights, gender equality, non- discrimination, data protection and promotion of the European citizenship will be exploited. Activities will contribute directly to the following Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in particular: SDG 1 - No Poverty; SDG 9 – Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure; SDG 11- Sustainable Cities and Communities; SDG 16 – Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions. 1.2.Areas of Intervention 1.2.1.Disaster-Resilient Societies Disasters arise from multiple sources, whether natural or man-made, including those from terrorist attacks, climate- related and other extreme events (including from sea level rises), from forest fires, heat waves, floods, earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic events, from water crises, from space weather events, from industrial and transport disasters, from CBRN events, as well as those from resulting cascading risks.

Broad Lines – Technologies and capabilities for first responders for emergency operations in crisis and disaster situations; – The capacities of society to better manage and reduce disaster risk, including through nature-based solutions, by enhancing prevention, preparedness and response to existing and new risks – Interoperability of equipment and procedures to facilitate cross-border operational cooperation and an integrated EU market. 1.2.2.Protection and Security There is a need to protect citizens from and to respond to security threats from criminal including terrorist activities and hybrid threats; to protect people, public spaces and critical infrastructure, from both physical (including CBRN-E) attacks and cyber-attacks; to fight terrorism and radicalisation, including understanding and tackling terrorist ideas and beliefs; to prevent and fight serious crime, including cybercrime, and organised crime; to support victims; to trace criminal financial flows; to support the use of data for law enforcement and to ensure the protection of personal data in law enforcement activities; to support air, land and sea EU border management, for flows of people and goods. It is essential to maintain flexibility rapidly to address new security challenges that may arise. Broad Lines – Innovative approaches and technologies for security practitioners (such as police forces, border and coast guards, customs offices), public health practitioners, operators of infrastructure and those managing open spaces; – Human and social dimensions of criminality and violent radicalisation, in relation to those engaged or potentially engaged in such behaviour as well as to those affected or potentially affected; – The mind-set of citizens, public authorities and industry to prevent the creation of new security risks and to reduce existing risks, including those from new technologies such as Artificial Intelligence; – Combatting disinformation and fake news with implications for security; – Interoperability of equipment and procedures to facilitate cross-border and inter-agency operational cooperation and develop an integrated EU market. – Ensuring the protection of personal data in law enforcement activities, in particular in view of rapid technological developments. 1.2.3. Cybersecurity Malicious cyber activities not only threaten our economies but also the very functioning of our democracies, our freedoms and our values. Cyber threats are often criminal, motivated by profit, but they can also be political and strategic. Our future security and prosperity depend on improving our ability to protect the EU against cyber threats. The digital transformation requires improving cybersecurity substantially, to ensure the protection of the huge number of IoT devices expected to be connected to the internet, including those controlling power grids, cars and transport networks, hospitals, finances, public institutions, factories, homes. Europe must build resilience to cyber- attacks and create effective cyber deterrence. Broad Lines – Technologies across the digital value chain (from secure components to cryptography and self-healing software and networks); – Technologies to address current cybersecurity threats, anticipating future needs, and sustaining a competitive industry; – A European cybersecurity competence network and competence centre.

Amendment 1296 #
Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part II – point 4 – point 4.1 – paragraph 2
To meet the objectives of the Paris Agreement the EU will need to transition to low-carbon, resource-efficient and resilient economies and societies. This will be based on profound changes in technology and services, to the ways in which businesses and consumers behave, as well as involving new forms of governance. Limiting the increase of global average temperature to well below 2°C, and pursuing efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C, requires rapid progress in decarbonising the energy system through exponential deployment of renewable energy sources and the electrification of industrial processes, heating and cooling and substantially reducing greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions from the transport sector17 . It will also need new impetus to accelerate the pace of developing next-generation breakthroughs as well as demonstrating and deploying innovative technologies and solutions, using also the opportunities provided by digital and space technologies. This will be pursued through an integrated approach encompassing decarbonisation, resource efficiency, reduction of air pollution, access to raw materials and circular economy. _________________ 17 Substantial decarbonisation of other sectors is addressed in other areas of the Horizon Europe GlobSocietal Challenges and Industrial Competitiveness pillar.

– Promote and co-fund joint innovation programmes managed by authorities in charge of public national, regional or local innovation policies and programmes, to which private entities supporting innovation and innovators mayshould be associated. Such demand- and supply driven joint programmes may target, among others, early stage and feasibility study support, academia- enterprise cooperation, support to high-tech SMEs' collaborative research, technology and knowledge transfer, internationalisation of SMEs, market analysis and development, digitalisation of low-tech SMEs, financial instruments for close to market innovations activities or market deployment, social innovation. They may also include joint public procurement initiatives, enabling innovations to be commercialised in the public sector, in particular in support of the development of new policy. When managed at the local level, these programmes should allow transnational partnerships and should be coherent with the smart specialization strategies of the involved regions. They should be financed in part with the ERDF. This could be particularly effective to stimulate innovation in public service areas and to provide market opportunities to European innovators and promote synergies between the programme and the ERDF.

2 a. CITIZENS IN SCIENCE Research and innovation (R&I) systems are currently undergoing far-reaching changes to this modus operandi. At the same time, there is recognition that co- design and co-creation with citizens, stakeholders and end-users needs to be promoted in all policy instruments, including Horizon Europe. Responsible Research and innovation concept has been proved a good frame to push forward the different agendas that help Europe to make a better science, aligned with the needs and expectation of our society. The involvement of societal actors and the integration of societal concerns needs to be more systematic and sustainable, e.g. through institutional changes in R&I organisations that have lasting effects beyond the lifetime of project funding. Likewise, R&I organisations need to facilitate the production and uptake of scientific knowledge by society. In this context, the programme “Citizens and science” is called to support the implementation of Responsible Research and Innovation in Horizon Europe and beyond, looking for lasting institutional change able to embrace open science. Moreover, it also has the role to research and pilot new knowledge and methodologies to ensure a better relationship between citizens and science in the long term. Broad Lines – Responsible Research and Innovation as the umbrella where individuals institutions, regions and countries develops ways to become more open and responsive to society; – Citizen science, including engagement of citizens in the co-design of research and innovation agenda settings and policy, in the co-creation of scientific content and innovation through transdisciplinary activities; – All types of formal, non-formal and informal science education, incorporating STEM, research and entrepreneur skills into education systems from an early stage, and especially in a changing world where critical thinking and scientific knowledge will allow to fight against, among others, fake news, pseudo science and populism in the long term, while augmenting trust in science; – Supporting gender equality in scientific careers and in decision making, as well as the integration of the gender dimension in research and innovation content; – Ethics and integrity, to further develop a coherent EU framework in adherence with the highest ethics standards and the European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity; – Providing researchers with attractive career environments, skills and competences needed in the modern knowledge economy1a. – Linking the ERA and the European Higher Education Area by supporting the modernisation of universities and other research and innovation organisations, through recognition and reward mechanisms to spur actions at national level, as well as incentives promoting the adoption of open science practices, entrepreneurship (and links to innovation ecosystems), trans-disciplinarity, citizen engagement, international and inter- sectoral mobility, gender equality plans and comprehensive approaches to institutional changes.
