Challenges for 2024: A fair and Green Economy (Barcelona)

About the event

The pandemic may be over but economic instabilities continue. The effects of the war in Ukraine, high inflation rates, the energy crisis, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict are just some examples of how the economic and social agenda will be impacted in 2024 in the fight against the climate emergency.

The year 2024 represents a change of cycle in Europe and in Spain. We must, therefore, define the priorities to move forward towards a green and just transition that allows European citizens make ends meet.

Context

GEF’s Green Red Dialogues, organised with the support of Fundació Nous Horitzons, aim to tackle pressing issues of our time and the challenges Europe faces with an explicit social and green lens. From COVID-19 to the war in Ukraine, far right resurgence to feminist struggles – these issues tend to reverberate across multiple countries and domains. Through the dialogues, we connect the red and the green and highlight Southern European perspectives on crucial topics and developments across the continent.
