Cars contribute about 20 percent of Europe's current CO2
emissions. To achieve the climate goals of the Paris Agreement,
a transformation of the automobile industry is necessary. The
latter accounts for almost 14 million jobs in the EU, and is a key
economic sector in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE).
Therefore a pathway needs to be identified that ensures the
support of all affected stakeholders. Despite its urgency, this
transformation is still at the very beginning. This project aims to
contribute to the development of a just transition of the car
industry and its suppliers . Therefore, in five partner countries
– Czech Republic, Slovakia, Croatia, Hungary and Germany –
the project will 1) build an exchange group between European
stakeholders for a just transition of the car industry, 2) develop
bottom-up pathways for this transition, 3) develop policy
proposals for the national transition and the EU, and 4) conduct
communication and dissemination activities to inform the public.
