| Sumario: | The European Commission defines the Green Transition as the transformation set out in the European Green Deal. Ensuring that this transition is just is both an ethical requirement and a practical condition for maintaining public support and policy effectiveness. This Perspective proposes a multidimensional framework for assessing justice in Green Transition policies, encompassing distributional, procedural, recognitional, corrective, and transitional dimensions. Considering these dimensions in conjunction helps identify where justice claims converge and where genuine policy trade-offs arise, which should be made transparent and addressed through public deliberation. It sheds light on additional justice considerations which tend to get overlooked in many policy debates that focus predominantly on distributional justice concerns. Moreover, its multidimensionality is helpful in overcoming zero-sum framings which often present impediments for embedding justice throughout the policy cycle. |
