Reflecting on progress and the path ahead for a just transition in Europe
On 11-12 July stakeholders representing coal, peat, lignite and oil shale (“coal+”) regions gathered in sunny Velenje (Slovenia) for the Initiative for coal region in transition's fifth Annual Political Dialogue. The event was a chance to take stock of the progress made thus far, discuss challenges and opportunities for implementing a just energy transition in Europe, and share the vision for the future of transition.
Save the date: On 26 September 2024 (9am – 10:30 am EST / 3pm – 4:30pm CEST) the Initiative for coal regions in transition is hosting a webinar for Climate Week NYC. The webinar will bring together policymakers and practitioners, researchers, finance and civil society representatives for a critical conversation on how to mobilise and orientate private, development and other sources of finance to achieve regional just transitions from coal highlighting existing case studies and innovations from both Global North and Global South countries.
