Just energy transition from coal This action foresees a) to strengthen the international policy dialogue on just transition topics and better integrate the perspectives and needs of coal regions, b) to set up a global knowledge hub on the just energy transition producing, collecting and disseminating knowledge products among relevant stakeholders, c) to set up and support a global network of coal regions in particular with regions in Asia, Africa and Latin America[1] facilitating peer-to-peer knowledge exchange and providing training, capacity development and technical assistance. EU experiences will be integrated through close linkages with existing EU initiatives on Just Transition in the EU and the Neighbourhood. Through these outputs, the action aims at contributing to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from coal use while ensuring inclusive and sustainable economic growth with decent employment opportunities in coal regions. The transition from coal to clean energy will also have significant positive impacts on air pollution.The action will contribute to the achievement of the Global Challenges Multi-annual Indicative Programme 2021-27, priority area 2 (Planet), specific objective 3.The action constitutes a joint co-financing with the German Ministry for the Environment and Nuclear Safety (BMU) which will contribute EUR 7 400 000 to this action. This action co-finances the global component ¿International network and knowledge hub¿ of BMU¿s Innovation Regions for a Just Energy Transition programme.The action will be implemented through indirect management with Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) heading a consortium of organisations politically and technically relevant for the just energy transition on global level as co-implementers of selected activities.
