AK expects that the incoming Commission will continue on the path of multilateral, ambitious climate policy, further evolution of its goals and the continuation of its leading role in international negotiations. Questions of social justice – in particular the distribution of costs of restructuring and adapting the system, the effects on the quality and quantity of employment as well as negative effects on the workers affected – must be at the heart of the definition of targets and the implementation of climate policy. The fundamental commitment of the European Commission to this must be followed by specific measures to ensure a socially just transition.
