The Weekend Read: Study Reveals Social Dilemmas of Europe's Climate Transition

Welcome to the Weekend Read.As Europe pushes towards a climate-neutral economy, this episode examines the multifaceted labor market and social inclusion effects of environmental change. We'll discuss the opportunities for net employment gains through 'green' job creation but also the distributional risks, including job losses concentrated in carbon-intensive industries and regions. Learn how the green transition may disproportionately affect vulnerable groups, potentially leading to energy poverty and increased social inequalities, especially without targeted policies to ensure just transitions.
