Call for Proposals: Fostering Just Transition in Europe

The Browning Kimball Foundation: Grant Program in the US

Deadline: 19-Oct-21

The European Commission (EC) has launched a call for proposals for Fostering a just transition in Europe.

Actions should enhance the understanding of the challenges of the “just transition” to climate-neutral and environmentally sustainable economies and societies, as envisaged in the European Green Deal and Next Generation EU.

They should analyse various dimensions of inequality arising from climate change impacts, climate policies and transition pathways including their distributional implications associated with changes in GDP, industrial competitiveness and trade, employment and skills, taxation, incomes and wealth, vulnerabilities and human health, structure of sectors, business models and relative prices etc.

Further equity aspects associated with climate change impacts and climate policy, such as differential vulnerabilities as well as intergenerational fairness or justice should also be studied, taking into consideration social and geographic circumstances and paying due attention to most vulnerable parts of the society (poor, elderly, persons with disabilities, children, migrants etc.).

The gender dimension should also be explored.

Research should integrate learnings from the COVID-19 pandemic in terms of the evolution of inequality in Europe and analyse potential implications for climate action and green recovery.

Actions should identify policy options and measures that combine climate and environmental benefits with intra- and intergenerational justice, e.g. by a reduction of poverty and inequality across different sectors of society, as well as within and between countries and regions.

They should explore links between and combinations of climate-focused policies and social, taxation, employment and other relevant measures.

Recommendations as to the most effective levers for enacting an inclusive, fair and just ecological transition should be formulated.
