The European Commission set its ambition to ensure a just transition to a low-carbon economy already at the beginning of 2020. With the European Green Deal, Von der Leyen linked climate change mitigation to society’s transition towards more sustainable ways of working, producing, and consuming.
The COVID-19 outbreak is outlining a future with a different organisation of the workspace, of people’s work-life balance, as well as new consumption and production patterns. The need to bounce forward more sustainably and inclusively is therefore more urgent.
With the recovery plan Next Generation EU, the Commission aims at repairing the immediate economic and social damage brought about by the coronavirus pandemic, and ensuring a better future for the next generation.
In this scenario, companies play a fundamental role in ensuring an effective recovery. They can not only minimise the harmful effects of the pandemic but transition towards more sustainable and inclusive models of value creation.
The session is aimed at identifying the key social challenges posed by the coronavirus pandemic, in the three areas of:
1. Jobs and Employability
2. Consumption and Lifestyle
3. Finance, and the role of regulators, companies, and other stakeholders in ensuring a quick and sustainable recovery.
The session will include practical cases in which the challenges were overcome through innovative models and practices.
