Nominations are now open for Silver Rose Awards to advance a socially just transition in the face of political challenges.
Thematic Areas

They will collect nominations of civil society, trade unions, activists, citizens or politicians who have distinguished themselves in their work and dedication to ensuring a truly transformative transition that is socially fair and just.
- At SOLIDAR, they understand a just transition to mean social justice combined with climate action and environmental protection in a mutually reinforcing and democratic way. It aims at a broad societal transformation that fosters the wellbeing of people within planetary boundaries and is based on social and civil dialogue.
