Amidst the challenges of implementing the Fit for 55 package, which aims to enable the EU to reach its intermediate climate targets by 2030, the AdJUST partners have analysed the distributive impacts of the transition to climate neutrality and identified effective policy interventions to accompany climate action that leaves no one behind. By fostering active stakeholder engagement, the project’s aim was to increase societal support for ambitious climate action.
The final conference offered a prime opportunity to present AdJUST’s Just Transition Vision and showcase key study findings on labour market impacts (including for workers and trade unions), broader justice dimensions beyond labour, as well as institutional capacity. It also featured interactive discussions on just transition, climate, and energy poverty, with insights from experts, including EU, national and local policymakers, trade unions, think tanks and representatives of civil society.
Key highlights:
- Keynote from MEP @Jana Toom, Rapporteur for the Just Transition Directive in the world of work
- Première of the Just Transition Video
- Presentations on 4 core messages: workers, trade unions, beyond work, and institutional capacity
- Interactive discussions on fairness, inclusion, energy poverty, and policy solutions for Fit for 55 challenges
