With the adoption of the European Green Deal, the EU set its vision for a new growth strategy, transforming itself into a climate-neutral Union. At the same time, the digital transition continues to transform the world of work at an unprecedented speed. Anticipating and managing such transitions requires a broader approach: in line with the EU core values, this process should be fair and inclusive. The European Commission is set to present two initiatives to support this process: (i) a new action plan to implement the European pillar of social rights and (ii) a quality jobs roadmap (both in the fourth quarter of 2025). The roadmap will present measures to support fair wages, good working conditions, access to training, and fair work transitions by increasing collective bargaining. The European Parliament's Committee on Employment and Social Affairs is addressing the issue by preparing a legislative own-initiative report (INL) on the 'Just Transition Directive in the world of work: Ensuring the creation of jobs and revitalising local economies'. This briefing aims to inform the development of this INL. It identifies challenges such as uneven impact of the transition, skills shortages and unequal working conditions. These could be addressed, among other things, by enhancing social conditionalities, ensuring safe and fair working conditions, and developing targeted training and upskilling strategies. Addressing these challenges at EU level while ensuring the implementation of principles of the European pillar of social rights could both facilitate the transition and bring additional benefits in terms of economic growth and employment.
