Spotlight on START: supporting older workers in mining regions
The energy transition is gathering speed all over the European Union. The shift away from fossil fuels, while crucial for a sustainable future, has major social and economic implications for affected coal, peat, lignite, and oil shale territories - coal+ regions - and the communities living and working in them. To help tackle and design tailored solutions to context-specific challenges arising from transition action, the European Commission’s Initiative for coal regions in transition has been delivering technical assistance to selected recipients through its START facility.
The Initiative for coal regions in transition has developed this resource to assist practitioners in coal+ regions across Europe. The aim of the toolkit is to help stakeholders to address the upskilling and reskilling needs of workers in the context of the green economy. It explores what constitutes a green job and the concept of green skills, examines the types of green skills that are likely to be needed in the future, and investigates how to plan for them. It explores the kinds of strategies that could be put into place and who should be involved in planning, directly linking to the European Green Deal and the European Pillar of Social Rights.
