The Coal Regions in Transition Virtual Week, organised by the Secretariat of the Initiative for coal regions in transition, addresses issues faced specifically by coal, peat and oil shale regions. During the week, speakers discussed the new EU context, what it means for EU coal, peat and oil shale regions, with a focus on supporting regions in their just transition paths, and in the context of the EU Green Deal, the Just Transition Mechanism, Just Transition Fund, and Just Transition Platform.
During the week, a stakeholder seminar was also be held, hosted by the European Commission, focusing on regions dependent on carbon-intensive industries.
