The seventh edition of the Just Transition Platform Conference took place in hybrid format in Brussels on 25-27 April 2023.
This event was co-hosted by DG REGIO and DG ENER. It 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 Internal Market, Thierry Breton, Commissioner for Cohesion and Reforms, Elisa Ferreira, and Commissioner for Energy, Kadri Simson.
The two-day conference on 25 and 26 April facilitated exchange between stakeholders on the journey of a just transition towards a climate-neutral Europe. The event focused on the implementation of the Just Transition Fund. It spotlighted the ambitions included in the Territorial Just Transition Plans and the opportunities that the Just Transition Fund has created in the regions, including for industries of strategic importance.
Furthermore, specific sessions addressed various topics such as energy security and energy transition nexus, international dimension of just transition, effective governance mechanisms for monitoring and implementation of just transition, and available technical assistance to support stakeholders on the ground.
On 27 April, the European Committee of the Regions organised a Multi-Level Dialogue on Just Transition.
