It analyses the different dimensions of justice – distributive, procedural and recognition – in key EU strategies and sectoral policies, drawing on case studies from national, regional and city levels. It focuses on the challenges of the uneven impact of measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions on different social groups and regions, highlighting the need for a comprehensive and holistic approach. The report offers recommendations for policymakers on how to improve the governance of just transitions and ensure that no one is left behind. It includes examples from countries such as Spain, Finland, Estonia, Italy and Barcelona. Spring
