There’s no one-size-fits-all recipe, but that there are a few ingredients that make just transition work as social dialogue in the workplace, along with respect for labour standards and human rights, and large involvement of communities. This side event organized by the EESC aims to bring together civil society organization and policymakers presenting concrete examples of just transition initiatives and analysing which are the main strengths and challenges in ongoing processes.
