Kašuba, Štěpán ; Richter, Eva (advisor) ; Sládek, Jan (referee)
The text is about socioeconomic impacts of environmental measures on inequality of low-income groups. Primarily it takes into account measures focused on lowering the amount of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere. The objective of the text is, with the form of literature review, to summarize the impacts on economic and other inequalities of low-income groups and identify the main characteristics connected to positive or negative impacts. The impact of green job implementation is also considered. As the review shows, low income groups are potentially vulnerable group which can however profit if the measures are sensitively applied in connection to their situation. Main characteristics connected to positive outcomes are compensatory mechanism, balancing possible negative elements, and existence of managing authority in charge of measure planning and implementation. Concrete impacts are however specific for unique contexts and there is a need of individual solution for particular environment. Key words: Environmental measures, social inequality, low-income groups, social impacts
