"Social protection as facilitator of the green transition", 13 June, 10h30-15h15, Brussels
Social protection as facilitator of the green transition – do we need a European Eco-Social Model 2.0?
13 June 2023, 10h30-15h15, Brussels, Hotel Thon EU (room France)
The social dimension of the European Green Deal has moved from the sidelines into the centre of policy debates. While this is welcome, its content has remained a patchwork.
At this first workshop of a new ETUI project financed by the European Climate Foundation, we will start with a presentation of the findings of the High-Level Group on the Future of Social Protection and of the Welfare State in the EU who has analysed the expected impacts of key megatrends on the social protection and on the welfare state in a report published in the beginning of this year. We will then discuss with two of the authors how ecological priorities are dealt with in their report.
The second part of the workshop will focus on the existing gaps in EU just transition policies and examine how a more comprehensive and integrated policy framework could be established, reaching from social protection and active labour market policies to facilitate labour market transitions to industrial and regional policies. The strengthening of the social dimension of the European Green Deal will also need more resources. We will aim to develop recommendations to strengthen funding mechanisms of just transition policies with regard to the current Multiannual Financial Framework review as well as the next one.
The event is in-person only. Please register here before 12 June.
