Facing climate change: how can social protection and labour and employment measures support adaptation and mitigation?

The FPS Social Security, in collaboration with SOCIEUX+, publishes a metapaper (overview and synthesis) "The climate change challenge: how can social protection and labour and employment policies support adaptation and mitigation?" written by Dr Koen Vleminckx.

In this metapaper, we discuss the potential of labour market policies and social protection systems to protect and prepare people for social and economic shocks due to climate change and to facilitate the green transition. We do this through concrete examples of interesting practices in different countries in different regions of the world. The aim is to inspire policymakers and stakeholders in EU partner countries with concrete practices from other countries.
