Proposal for a European Just Transitions Directive

Improving working conditions for just transitions through the anticipation and management of change.

The success of Europe’s twin transitions - climate and digital - will shape the future and prosperity of our industries, workforce, and economy. The European Union has made bold commitments to industrial modernisation.
However, it often overlooks the workforce as a factor for success. Structured worker involvement with a real voice in shaping change improves decision-making, strengthens industrial stability, and ensures wider acceptance.
A European Just Transitions Directive, as suggested in this publication, would deliver a binding framework for early intervention, structured workforce planning, and the right to paid training in order to enable companies and workers to jointly anticipate and manage change.
Through proactive redeployment, reskilling initiatives, and innovative work arrangements, Europe's industrial base and regional skills capacity will be protected. This strengthens economic competitiveness, quality jobs and social cohesion across the continent.
