The Secretariat of the European Commission’s Initiative for Coal Regions in Transition recently marked its fifth anniversary. The last half-decade has brought with it many changes and developments. We are commemorating this milestone with a special edition of this newsletter. Read on to hear from various members of the EU’s coal+ community!
A voice from the EU coal+ regions
Dariusz Stankiewicz from Silesia (Poland) – Europe’s largest coal mining region – reflects on how the Initiative has supported Silesia’s just transition, and his hopes for the Initiative’s next five years.
Véronique Marx (Team Leader for Just Transition and Energy Poverty at DG ENER) and Brieuc Posnic (International Relations Officer) from the European Commission have both been closely involved with the Initiative. They look back to the beginnings of the Initiative and ahead to what they hope it will achieve in the coming years.
We round off this series of reflections with an international perspective based on reflections from members of a recent EU delegation to the United States’ Just Transition Fund US conference.
