PAST EVENT
Tallinn,18 March
This event responds to the need to urgently develop and communicate a vision of just environmental and climate politics by bringing together researchers, progressive policymakers and foundations from the Nordic and Baltic regions and the European level.
“This event is a proof of a double commitment of FEPS: to the Baltic region, where we would like to see more joint activities, and to the topic of climate change, a critical challenge of our time and a long-standing commitment of our foundation”, said FEPS Secretary General LászlĂł Andor during the event.

The EU must be empowered to live up to the social, climate, and environmental challenges of our times. For this to happen, Europe cannot just return to the pre-covid EU economic governance framework.
We are pleased to announce that FEPS has signed the Manifesto for a green, just and democratic European economy promoted by the group of civil society organisations, think tanks, and trade unions FiscalMatters. We unite our voice with those of 273 organisations and academics from all 27 EU countries calling for fundamental reform of the EU’s fiscal rules.

How has COVID changed the labour market?
Stephen Bevan, Head of HR Research Development at the Institute for Employment Studies and László Andor, FEPS Secretary General, discuss the impact of COVID-19 in the working conditions, based on the results of the new study about the UK, and compare the main conclusions with the situation in the countries and regions of the EU.
They highlight how the pandemic created the concept of “key workers” and gave rise to new practices like homeworking. The impact on social inequalities and flexible forms of employment and issues related to health at work were also discussed.
