The GREEN-DIGI project focuses on strengthening the capacities of social partners in the context of the ongoing twin transition towards a digital and climate-neutral economy, which is fundamentally reshaping labour markets across the European Union. The main objective of the project is to support effective, inclusive, and forward-looking social dialogue that enables the fair and economically sustainable management of these transformations.
The project aims to enhance the institutional and strategic capacities of employers’ organisations and trade unions in four EU Member States through transnational cooperation, capacity building, and policy co-creation. Its goal is to enable social partners to actively participate in governing the green and digital transitions and to contribute more effectively to policymaking at both national and European levels.
Key objectives include the modernisation of social dialogue and collective bargaining practices, strengthening the ability of social partners to address the challenges of digitalisation and decarbonisation, promoting the implementation of EU-level autonomous agreements, and contributing to the objectives of the European Pillar of Social Rights and the European Green Deal.
The project also aims to deliver concrete outputs, in particular practical guidelines for collective bargaining in the context of the twin transition and policy recommendations for decision-makers. Expected outcomes include stronger and better-informed social partners, improved integration of green and digital topics into social dialogue, enhanced coherence between national and EU-level policies, and increased transferability of good practices across Member States.
