A transition isn’t just if people are left behind. As energy systems shift and living costs rise, fairness means supporting those most affected and giving communities a real voice. Our new report calls for a strong, legally binding EU Just Transition Framework www.socialplatform.org/documents/po...

Why Europe Needs a Stronger Just Transition Policy Framework?

Climate action must go hand-in-hand with social justice. Here’s what the latest Social Platform report reveals

Image is the front cover illustration from the paper

what is the problem?

Europe’s transition to a greener society is necessary, but also risks widening inequalities.

Workers, low-income households, and marginalised groups could be left further behind, unless we enforce a just transition.

What a just transition must deliver...

Social Platform calls for:

Protection of social rights
Reduction of poverty & inequality
Quality jobs & reskilling
Strong public & social services
Affordable housing & clean energy

The knowledge exists. The urgency is clear. Now we need political will. The report calls for a Just Transition Framework with legally binding measures that aligns climate, social, and economic policies by ensuring all EU legislation protects both the planet and people.

Ahead of the EU's first ever Anti-poverty Strategy coming next year, we welcome yesterday's @europarl.europa.eu EMPL Committee report outlining key priorities for eradicating poverty, including a call for adequate minimum income for all 🙌 #endpoverty #OverthePovertyLine

To truly eradicate poverty, the EU needs concrete measures and binding action. That’s why the renewed call for adequate minimum income in the EMPL Committee report is a welcome step forward.

However, this ambition must be backed up with sufficient resources.
It’s essential that the next EU budget prioritises social investment and poverty reduction.
