Objectives
For a successful green transition, new and research-based knowledge is paramount. In this Nordic-Baltic initiative, the focus is on three topics which are all important in the work towards a just green transition.
The first topic calls for new insights on energy efficient, resilient, and sustainable food systems.
The second topic addresses the importance of including gender perspectives in the green transition, for it to be just, effective, and long-lasting.
The third topic concerns representation and legitimacy, focusing on democratic engagement and citizen-involvement in the green transition.
Background
The Green Transition call focuses on central features of our societies, such as equality, democratic engagement, participation, and representation. Moreover, it addresses an urgent need for the Nordic-Baltic region to find more energy efficient and sustainable food systems.
