| Summary: | "The EU's sustainable-development strategy adopted in 2006 calls on workers' organisations to enter into urgent reflection with political leaders about the medium- and long-term policies required for sustainable development. The Commission has also insisted several times on the need to identify the winners and losers of the processes of change towards sustainable development. A cost-benefit analysis of the EU's strategies in the area of climate change, taking account of both environmental and competitive considerations, was requested by the European Council in March 2004.
This study was intended to contribute to such a reflection by providing an analysis of the potential costs and benefits for employment of the policies and measures against climate change as well as of the manifestations of the consequences of climate change in Europe.
This report comprises two divisions. The first, entitled "Impact of climate change", attempts to determine the potential impact on employment in Europe of the consequences of climate change. The second, entitled "Impact of CO2 emission reduction measures", analyses the potential implications for employment of climate-change prevention policies in the EU with time-horizons of 2012 and 2030." |
