BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Union launched on Monday a website for citizens to debate the future of the 27-nation bloc as the exit of Britain, climate change, the COVID-19 pandemic and the rise of nationalism force the EU to reflect on how it wants to develop.

The website, available for contributions in the EU's 24 official languages, is part of what EU institutions call the Conference on the Future of Europe -- a forum for debate to help identify issues the EU needs to address in the changing global context.
