We are pleased to announce the release of the 2nd episode of our youtube series ¨Live from Brussels¨ on the crucial topic – Just Transition.
The Just Transition Mechanism, announced in December 2019, is a groundbreaking initiative that allocates 55 billion EUR over the 2021-27 period to support workers and communities most affected by the transition to a green economy. To speak about the subject, we have two esteemed guests who will provide us with valuable insights on this topic.
- Mechtild Wörsdorfer, the Deputy Director General at DG ENER. With her extensive experience and expertise, Mechtild will share with us the achievements of the Just Transition Mechanism in creating new green jobs and supporting coal-reliant regions.
- Judith Kirton-Darling, the Deputy General Secretary of IndustriAll European Trade Union. Judith will provide us with an overview of how the Just Transition Mechanism is being implemented across different European member states and discuss the additional measures being taken to protect workers and communities amidst the evolving complexities of the world.
We are honored to have such knowledgeable and influential voices joining us for the second episode.
Live from Brussels is a youtube series produced by Joana Freitas, Energy Expert, our Director, Professor Lucila de Almeida, and João Maria Botelho, a student from NOVA Law School and researcher at the NOVA Green Lab.
We also appreciate the collaboration of Republica 45, which sponsors the Live from Brussels video edition.
