New Transitions Performance Index tracks EU progress towards fair and 
prosperous sustainability: check how your country is doing
The European Union is a strong global performer in the transition 
towards sustainability, with Denmark and the Netherlands topping the EU 
ranking and outperforming the US and China. These are some of the main 
results of the new Transitions Performance Index (TPI), published by the 
Commission today. It ranks EU Member States and 45 other countries 
across the globe on how they have performed from 2010 to 2019, both 
overall and in the four sustainability dimensions.

Mariya Gabriel, Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, 
Education and Youth said:

help us make sure we invest in our future in a sustainable and 
responsible way.

Resilient cybersecurity solutions for European businesses

While information technologies have opened up new business 
opportunities, they have also left companies exposed to new threats. 
Smaller companies in particular are often ill-prepared to defend against 
cyberattacks. An EU-funded project has developed new tools to help 
businesses, and by extension citizens, protect themselves better and 
have made these available on an easy-to-use platform.
