The green, the digital and the social: Ensuring fair green-digital transitions in Europe

For Europe’s economies to re-emerge stronger from the Covid crisis and to set the pace for innovative and future- oriented green and digital societies, the European Union pursues an ambitious green-digital transformation policy agenda. To ensure that this twin transition is rolled-out in a sustainable manner which leaves no one behind, it needs socially-friendly support elements for and with workers at its core.
Experts and representatives from think tanks, trade unions, employer organisations, institutions and the civil society shall debate on ways to ensure that Europe’s bounce-back from the pandemic targets climate neutrality, digitalisation and social fairness and opportunities alike.


The questions to be debated include the following:
• What is the scope of economic, social and structural impacts that green-digital transitions bring, and why should there be a social dimension to green-digital transitions? How to help particularly affected sectors and groups of workers? What do workers and their representatives need to be prepared for and what is the importance of worker participation and social dialogue in transition processes?
• How social are the EU’s ‘Recovery and Resilience Facility’ and its the national execution plans, and what can they realistically deliver? How can workers and trade unions have a say? And what measures should be taken beyond the ‘Facility’ for more social fairness and opportunities?
• How to reform education systems from primary care to lifelong learning to ensure that students and workers are equipped for good and safe green and digital jobs? How could more resilient public services and their personnel better support social fairness? And, in any case, who is in charge of better jobs and working conditions – the EU, the Member States or trade unions and social partners?
