The Graduate Seminar, "The Bumpy Road to Climate Neutrality and Just Transition", by Emmanuella Doussis, Professor of International Institutions at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece, explores the complex challenges involved in achieving climate neutrality while ensuring fairness and equity in the process. It emphasizes the importance of international cooperation and climate diplomacy to manage the socioeconomic impacts of climate policies. The concept of a "just transition" highlights the need to protect vulnerable communities and workers as economies shift away from fossil fuels. Also, it highlights the challenges faced by the Western Balkans in aligning with EU climate goals, emphasizing the region's need for structural reforms, investment, and support to ensure a fair and inclusive transition.
We highly thank Prof. Emmanuella Doussis for her insights and all participants for their questions and contributions.
