Discussion on a greener future
#RealDealEurope Which environmental issues are the most important for you?
We need to make sure that the green transition is inclusive and that the cost does not fall on the same people who are already struggling to make ends meet.

Welfare societies such as the Nordic countries already have quite comprehensive income transfer systems and social security, sometimes it seems too much so, because inaction and passivity are not good for anyone, and I believe that support should be reciprocal and, above all, based on action. The growth in income inequality must be curbed, moderately and by positively activating people and involving them in work. By steering agriculture and food production towards more ecological practices, producers and production are also involved in the green transition. I believe that this requires long-term planning in order to attract investment and to provide companies with funding, for example for energy-efficient investments and the development of more sustainable production.

We also need to consider those who might lose their jobs due to the green transition, ensure that they are taken care of and are offered a path to develop new skills in other areas where they believe they can perform....
I agree! But I would add the community around the industry, so not just the workers, but all those who are working around the industry, e.g. those working in kindergartens or schools in mining towns etc etc
You need to have timely and accessible and regular consultations with those who will be mostly affected by the initiatives. Green initiatives needs to be built on the actual needs of the people, and not the assumed needs. People are experts on their lived experiences.

It requires a comprehensive approach that addresses environmental sustainability, social equity, and economic viability.Participatory approaches, such as community consultations, citizen assemblies, and stakeholder engagement, can help build trust and foster cooperation towards shared environmental goals.
I agree about the importance of participatory approaches, citizen deliberation forums and assemblies in the context of sustainability policy processes
I also agree with that. Maybe there are probably a lot to learn from experiences from the global south where some populations are much more affected environmental crisis...
I support this proposal
