The European Alliance for a Just Transition brings together around 50 European stakeholders working for a sustainable future, including social, climate and environmental civil society organisations, workers’ representatives, think tanks and progressive political parties, groups and foundations. The group shares a common objective for a fair and just green transition: to transform our economies and societies in ways that respect planetary boundaries and improve the well-being, living standards and working conditions of all people.
A fair and just green transition is essential to effectively address these multifaceted and interconnected global crises. In this document, the Alliance presents its vision for a European Union that prioritises and advances a fair and just transition throughout the 2024-2029 political cycle and beyond.
Our vision is of a Union that:
- Ensures the green transition leads to prosperity for all, with a strong focus on reducing socio-economic inequalities.
- Advances ambitious and forward-looking climate, environmental and social agendas in a coordinated, coherent and mutually reinforcing manner.
- Applies and promotes proactive decision-making for a fair and just transition and makes substantial investments to support it.
- Puts social, climate and environmental objectives at the heart of all its internal and external actions and investments to foster a truly sustainable society.
