What will a Just Transition look like?
How will we know when we get there?
SCiO Ireland and Eurofound, the EU Agency for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions, are hosting a workshop on 8 May 2025 on the critical challenge of the Green Just Transition – specifically the complex dilemma facing policymakers who must address climate change while ensuring:
Fairness for vulnerable populations
Equitable economic opportunities
Sustainable development that leaves no one behind
We believe that effective evaluation approaches are crucial to designing and executing a truly Just Transition. We are therefore developing An Irish Case Study with European relevance. The central question our project explores is: “If evaluators take the idea that no one should be left behind seriously, what would a just transition look like?”
This experiential process workshop forms a key part of a wider project. We will engage in a hands-on interactive process of inquiry to access collective group wisdom to access fresh insights for policymakers in Ireland and across the EU. The methodology draws on systems thinking and Social Presencing Theatre, a methodology developed at MIT for embodied learning.
This workshop will provide learning and insights that will feed into a paper to document the process and outcomes of this workshop: the abstract has been accepted for a Special Edition of the European journal “Evaluation”.
