Nominations are now open for Silver Rose Awards to advance a socially just transition in the face of political challenges.
Thematic Areas
- The focus of this year’s Just Transition Award will be advancing a socially just transition in the face of political challenges. 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.

- Carry out campaigning, social or political actions, or political journalism which bring visibility to the importance of a just transition and the risks associated with excluding it from political priorities.

- Contribute to movement building around a just transition through community organising, alliance and network development, or activism.
