This meeting, organised by ERCST in Brussels, aimed to bring together key stakeholders that are both affected by, and involved in managing,the negative social and economic impacts associated with the global transition towards a low-carbon society and economy. It was designed as a brainstorming session and will discuss the state of debate in Europe, and identify possible gaps between the EU, members state and international levels in the work to successfully manage the transition.
The first panel aimed to illustrate how social and economic impacts caused by transitions have been dealth with in the past and present, and what we can learn from these examples and best practices. The second panel focused on the question to what extent the issue is being recognized and tackled by policy-makers and stakeholders, and how progress can be made, including in cooperation among different levels of policy-making.
