Dear All, You are invited to join us for Session X of the Speaker Series ‘Social Policy Unpacked: Exploring pathways for fair green and digital transitions’, co-hosted by the ZOE Institute for Future-fit Economies<https://zoe-institut.de/en/> and the European Commission (DG EMPL)<https://ec.europa.eu/social/home.jsp> on 15 June, 2023. In this session, Dr Tina Fawcett (University of Oxford) will delve into the challenges posed by crises and transitions to energy systems, exploring policy examples, potential solutions, and new ways of thinking in pursuit of fair green energy transitions. Fair energy policy for crises and transitions Register to join.<https://zoe-institut.de/en/event/fair-energy-policy-for-crises-and-transitions/> Fair green transitions aim towards secure, carbon-neutral, environmentally friendly, and equitable energy systems. How can we govern this transition while managing and learning from crises? The recent energy crisis has led to shifts in energy usage by households and businesses, and the likelihood of more frequent energy shortages due to extreme weather is increasing. This talk will address the role of the EU, key issues such as skills development and low-carbon heating, and the framework of sufficiency in navigating these challenges. Details When: Thursday, 15 June, 15:00 - 16:00 CET Their presentation will be followed by a Q&A. Register via the ZOE website. <https://zoe-institut.de/en/event/fair-energy-policy-for-crises-and-transitions/> Background on the series The prospects for fairness and inclusion in Europe are being shaped by the green and digital transitions, which impact the future of work and social security. How these trends will affect people’s lives depends on the way the EU and its Member States design policies to ensure a fair green and digital transition. The Speaker Series 'Social policy unpacked: Exploring pathways for fair green and digital transitions' (https://zoe-institut.de/en/project/speaker-series-social-policy-unpacked/) creates a space for expert-informed dialogue on the research and innovation and policy dimensions of the green and digital transitions. By bringing a social lens to the green and digital transition agendas, the outstanding thinkers channel their ideas and approaches into European social policy and challenge existing paradigms. We are looking forward to seeing you there. Do not hesitate to forward this invitation to any individuals/institutions that might be interested in the event!
