Event | 16-17 April 2024 | Brussels, Belgium / Online
The 9th edition of the Just Transition Platform Conference took place in Brussels and online on 16-18 April 2024. Core sessions of the JTP Conference took place on 16-17 April, followed on 18 April by a Multilevel Dialogue on Just Transition, organised by the European Committee of the Regions.
This hybrid event was co-hosted by the Commission’s Directorate-General for Regional and Urban Policy (DG REGIO) and the Directorate-General for Energy (DG ENER).
The conference provided a forum for sharing views and experiences on the just transition process to stakeholders from national, local and regional authorities as well as economic and social partners, the wider society and representatives from the European Commission; among them Commissioner for Cohesion and Reforms, Elisa Ferreira, Commissioner for Energy, Kadri Simson, and Commissioner for Jobs and Social Rights, Nicolas Schmit.
The core sessions facilitated exchange between stakeholders on the journey of a just transition towards a climate-neutral Europe. The event put a spotlight on the high-level discussion on the future of just transition, and provided good practice examples in harnessing the financing opportunities offered by the Just Transition Mechanism. Furthermore, specific sessions addressed various topics such as effective just transition monitoring mechanisms, the role of just transition in poverty alleviation, empowering youth engagement, how to develop and implement energy communities, skills development for a green future and available on-the-ground support for regions.
