Focusing on the required economic transformations in coal regions, the project will be working with government, industry, unions, communities, civil society and academia to spur localized pathways to low-carbon and climate resilient energy systems and sustainable and just local economies and jobs. It builds on the core elements: social dialogue and stakeholder engagement, impact studies, transformational measures and coherent policy changes.
