The European Recovery and Resilience Facility provides a major injection of public funding into the Member States’ economies. It has been presented as a green response to the economic crisis following the Covid-19 pandemic. Regrettably, a glance at the various national recovery and resilience plans (NRRPs), as well as other public investments proposed by governments, reveals a rather different situation: often characterized by mega-infrastructure defined long before the pandemic; somehow functional to an environmentally, climatically and socially unsustainable economic model; and decided without sufficient participation by local communities, which risk exacerbating the crisis instead of fostering its transformation in terms of social justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During this meeting, we will look at two major Italian infrastructure: the new breakwater in Genoa, funded by the Italian RRP, and the widening of the Bologna highway bypass, a public infrastructure presented as a symbol of ecological transition. We will also turn our gaze to Estonia, with the Estonian Green Movement’s testimony on the Rail Baltica infrastructure, also funded by the Estonian RRP. We will hear some alternative proposals from the territories, based on an economic, climate and social justice perspective, which will serve as a stimulus for an extended exchange with the participants in the second part of the meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
