Municipal supply: co-determined, social, climate-neutral?

01/05/2022 to 30/06/2024

From an actor-centered perspective, the project aims firstly to investigate the demands that companies providing public services in the fields of energy, waste disposal and public transport are confronted with in terms of climate and environmental protection, what measures are taken and what factors tend to promote or hinder their implementation. Secondly, the role of employees in the transformation process will be focused on, and the content and forms of company negotiation and participation processes and any associated conflicts will be examined. The conditions under which it is possible to reconcile employee interests and initiatives for ecological transformation will be investigated. Finally, the potential of municipalities and their infrastructure companies as key actors in the socio-ecological transformation will be examined.
