For such a policy to be successful and sustainable in the long run, it needs to be socially just. Climate policies focused exclusively on environmental objectives, ignoring the social dimension, risk undermining decarbonisation policies and the transition to a green economy. On the contrary, a socially just climate policy can reduce social injustices both nationally and globally. How can we design and implement ambitious climate policies that produce social welfare? Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES) Romania had on the 18th of March the online debate "Transition to a green economy and social justice - what kind of climate policies?" during which, the FES publication “Climate Action. Socially. Just. A handbook of arguments in favor of a fair and ecological society” was launched. How can we promote the energy transition and expand renewables on a large scale in a fair way? How can we transform mobility by increasing the quality of life? How can we decarbonise the economy without endangering the well-being of workers in fossil fuel-based sectors? We have discussed all these issues with our guests. The event took place in Romanian and English, with simultaneous translation.
