With a second energy shock hitting the continent in less than a decade, Europe’s structural issues related to energy dependency are becoming hard to ignore.

The environmental consequences of fast fashion have been ubiquitously known for decades. With the mass production of cheap garments polluting the Earth seemingly beyond repair

We all know climate change is real. We all know that the world is getting hotter, the sea levels are rising and natural catastrophes are

Energy transitions are inevitable, but they impose concentrated costs on specific workers and communities while distributing diffuse benefits widely. It is both ethically and practically sound to use policy to cushion this transition and to do so in ways that amplify worker voice (via unions and social dialogue), reskill workers in their home regions, and ensure that communities aren’t left economically devastated. The EU has begun to operationalise this via the Just Transition Mechanism, but implementation is patchy and often misses structural problems (inequality, lack of alternative industries). For developing nations, the challenge is an order of magnitude harder due to fiscal constraints and governance limitations, which creates a fairness problem: the Global South (which contributed least to climate change) may bear the highest just-transition costs. International solidarity and support are therefore both morally necessary and pragmatically required for a globally equitable transition.
