The Coal regions in transition virtual week, as part of the Just Transition Platform meeting, featured several thematic sessions that address various transition challenges and investment opportunities for coal carbon and fossil fuel-intensive regions. This includes opportunities to invest in the value chains of batteries, a presentation of Pillars 2 and 3 of the Just Transition Mechanism and addressing the demographic challenges of the transition. As part of the Coal Regions Virtual Week, we took stock of recent progress as regards coal phase-outs, listened to the voices of coal regions and looked at the employment potential of clean energy value-chains in Europe across coal regions.
