Building strategic importance requires deeper integration—in fiscal, external, and defense policy—and a stronger internal market.”\n🗣️ “Sustainability is not in opposition to competitiveness; it’s a critical success factor. Educated and well-connected people are the best guarantee for freedom, democracy, and a sustainable future.”\n🗣️ “As Commissioner for Science and Research, I argued back in 2007 for making knowledge the 5th Freedom. Today, that vision is more relevant than ever.”\n🗣️ “The time has come to move beyond the outdated four freedoms. The 5th Freedom—freedom of knowledge, education, science, and innovation—is essential to empower Europe for a competitive, sustainable, and fairer future.”\n📌 About Our Guest\n🎙️ Janez Potočnik | the UNEP International  Resource Panel \n🌐https://www.resourcepanel.org \n🌐linkedin.com/in/janez-potocnik-872470a7\nDr Janez Potočnik is a Slovenian economist and seasoned policymaker renowned for his contributions to sustainable development and environmental policy.
