”Social policy in its current form is not sufficient to respond to the safety risks of today and the future. Finland needs new kind of social policy that secures the well-being of current and future generations. “
Can Finland fulfil its target of being the world’s first carbon neutral welfare state? The Sustainable Development Goals and the Green Deal program of the European Union steer to implement the green transition in a socially just way. To fulfil the targets, we need social policy that doesn’t just prevent inequality and disadvantages but also promotes emissions reduction and restrains the loss of biodiversity.
We propose three means of social policy to support a just transition.
