Risks and opportunities of social and political processes in the EU: The case of the Green Deal – Manifesto Vigoni Forum for Students 2024

This manifesto, developed at the Vigoni Forum for Students 2024, offers a critical, student-led analysis of the European Green Deal from social, economic, and political perspectives. It highlights the need for a just transition that protects vulnerable groups, supports industrial adaptation, and reinforces democratic legitimacy. Through comparative insights from Italy and Germany, the paper proposes inclusive strategies to align climate ambition with social equity and public support. The Green Deal is framed not only as an environmental necessity, but as a broader opportunity for fairer, more resilient European integration.
