The Just Transition Fund is the first key element of the European Green Deal. Socialists and Democrats managed to put citizens’ welfare at the core of the transition to a carbon neutral economy with an instrument that will help ensure that nobody is left behind as technologies evolve towards a greener economy. In the coal industry alone, half a million jobs are at risk of being lost. This is why the S&D fought hard to reinforce the essential social dimension of the Just Transition Fund.
