Summary
Fairness is one of the key objectives of the European Green Deal, as well as a precondition for the green transition to gather the necessary support from businesses and citizens. Yet, there is a lack of common culture, practices, and agreed indicators or methodologies on how to best assess the social and distributional impacts of the transition (including on disadvantaged groups). To address this, the Commission recently put forward a proposal for a Council Recommendation addressing the social and labour aspects of a just transition towards climate neutrality, accompanying the Fit for 55 package.
Detailed Call Description
Proposals under this topic should:
- Contribute towards setting up a knowledge platform and network building on existing evidence from assessments of social and distributional impacts of the green transition in general, and of climate action, climate change policies and environmental policies more specifically.
- Propose theoretically founded practical and operational definitions of social impacts and develop social impact assessments/evaluations (covering at least employment, economic, distributional, generational, education, health, quality of life, gender and accessibility aspects) that are well suited to measure impacts of fair green transition policies both ex ante and ex post within and across countries.
The proposed platform should take stock of the existing methodologies to carry out social impact assessments and/or impact evaluations, and cover relevant ranges of outcome variables, including financial and non-financial costs and benefits associated with different policies or policy options, as well as distributional (regressive or progressive) impacts and perceptions of fairness and impacts on different regions.
Proposals should also identify shortcomings regarding statistical data and methods for measuring and assessing environmental and social sustainability and societal value when appropriate in cooperation with Eurostat and national statistical institutes, relevant international organisations, networks and social research infrastructures, especially the European Social Survey.
Furthermore, proposals should build a network of stakeholders from different contexts, including, but not limited to, researchers, policy makers (at both EU and national level), social partners and civil society. Such a network should include entities from at least 10 different EU Member States or Associated Countries representing different geographical areas, welfare models and/or transition challenges.
