BRIDGE Main Challenge: A.1. Structural and intersectional inequalities that shape inclusion and social cohesion
FITTER-EU addresses inequalities and promotes a fair twin transition (simultaneous shift toward a green and digital economy) in Europe through an innovative methodology. The project recognizes that the digital and green transitions do not have an equal impact on everyone, and that vulnerable and marginalized groups suffer the heaviest impact from them.
The main purpose of the project is anticipatory governance, meaning that it provides policymakers with tools to anticipate, simulate, and mitigate the social inequalities and exclusion risks that may be caused by the European Union’s twin transition (simultaneous shift toward a green and digital economy).

Humanity understands now that societal models based on profit and the consumption of resources are impossible to maintain and that there is a necessity for sustainable development models that guarantee the harmony between humanity and the environment. Therefore, there is the need to have a digital and green transition.
The digital and green transitions do not have an equal impact on everyone. This happens because distinct individuals have different social identities (e.g., gender, age, socioeconomic status) that overlap, creating unique layers of vulnerability and marginalization.
The project studies structural and intersectional inequalities, providing analytical frameworks to comprehend why certain groups of society are marginalized and how society can create a genuine social inclusion and cohesion.
It adopts an intersectional equality lens, led by experts, moving away from default policy assumptions. By accounting for new risks triggered by the twin transition and holding focus groups with marginalized communities, the project integrates lived experiences into algorithmic decision-making.
