ABSTRACT
The article focuses on the current, urgent, and much discussed global issue of climate change, the impacts of which are expansive and involve a wide range of expertise. The base forms the evaluation of a sample of European Union member states using the quantification of threats and intensity of two key factors. The main objective of this article is to evaluate EU countries the INFORM assessment tool and to highlight the link between the effects of climate change (environmental, social, and economical) as quantified by respective threats posed by emission volume and poverty. In the present research, we relied on the new INFORM Risk Index assessment indicator because it represents a completely new but also globally applicable, reliable, and transparent tool to understand the risk of humanitarian crises and disasters. The significant results of the performed quantitative analysis suggest that security risk, poverty, and pollution levels operate as closely linked areas. It can be expected that recent changes (the COVID-19 pandemic, state of war) will mean that these influences will increase in severity. © 2022, Bucharest University of Economic Studies.

ABSTRACT
The consulting industry has been affected in many ways by the global pandemic. According to a leading international literature source (consultancy.org), the decline is most noticeable in Europe. In our article, we present the general recent trends of the global management consulting industry, and then outline the results of our survey conducted among Hungarian consultants. Our team surveyed the extent and direction in which consulting companies have been affected by the pandemic. Although some of the respondents reported rather negative effects, the survey finds that a significant proportion of respondents consider the emerging crisis as an opportunity and not only as a threat.
ABSTRACT
The pandemic caused by Covid-19 not only resulted in the need to reconsider the way employees work for the employer, but also affected the way internal corporate communication with employers is carried out. In particular, the process of acquainting employees with work instructions or work tasks, including oversight and supervision, has changed. In this context, the adopted legislative changes and the approach of the supervisory authorities changed the way the adherence of regulations is assessed - from formal to more proactive. The aim of the paper is to outline the areas of controversy that have arisen as a result of changes in the conditions regulating internal corporate communication, including shortcomings in fulfilling various information obligations towards employees and the resulting legal consequences for business entities.
