The GREENPATHS project is funded by the EU’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under grant agreement 101112305, and the consortium brings together 13 partners based in 11 European countries.
GREENPATHS partners collaborating on research and policy design for just transition pathways
From October 2023, for three years, the IUC will contribute to GREENPATHS, a project that aims to improve the design, governance and implementation of policy strategies and instruments for green transitions. The project pays particular attention to the European Green Deal, the Fit for 55 package, and the actions funded by the Just Transition Fund and the European Social Fund+.
Key objectives include:
- Mapping and explaining links between policies, environmental sustainability and social well‑being.
- Identifying and assessing indicators and tools to analyse interactions between climate interdependencies, environmental sustainability and social well‑being.
- Developing systemic, in-depth and innovative understandings of green transition policies and approaches in light of social impacts and trade‑offs.
- Offering new insights into the relevance and significance of institutional, regulatory and legal frameworks in Europe that shape green transitions.
- Producing policy recommendations for desirable changes in European and national policies through a multi‑stakeholder backcasting approach and the participatory design of lighthouse projects, and facilitating enhanced civil society–stakeholder–policy dialogue on just transition pathways.
