Afterwork discussion, 3 October 2024, 17.00-18.40 + Buffet and drink [Fully booked]
Organised by the ETUI and the OSE, with Università degli studi di Padova – SPGI Dep. and Università degli studi di Milano.
This afterwork discussion will be an opportunity to consider how well a just transition has been integrated into the European Green Deal (EGD) so far, and how environmental and social goals can be better aligned in future EU policies. The event will focus on the relationship between European welfare systems and the green transition, exploring whether and how 'eco-social policies' - which aim to achieve both environmental and social objectives - could offer effective solutions.
