The objective of this Recommendation is to ensure that the Union’s transition towards a climate-neutral and environmentally sustainable economy by 2050 is fair and leaves nobody behind, in line with the principles of the European Green Deal and the European Pillar of Social Rights. For that purpose, this Recommendation invites Member States to adopt and implement comprehensive and coherent policy packages, addressing the employment and social aspects to promote a fair transition across all policies, notably climate, energy and environmental policies, as well as to make optimal use of public and private funding. This Recommendation sets out measures for supporting people most affected by the green transition, notably those in vulnerable situations and for helping them to transit, through employment or self-employment, towards economic activities contributing to climate and environmental objectives, including but not limited to: facilitating access to sustainable consumption, including nutrition, especially for people and households in vulnerable situations and in particular children, and promoting cost-saving opportunities linked to the circular economy.
