Governing a fair energy transition in coal-dependant areas

Governing a fair energy transition in coal-dependant areas Prof Yiannis Bakouros, provides a comprehensive exploration of promoting inclusive regional governance for a fair energy transition in coal-dependent areas. In the global effort to create a fair and sustainable future, it’s imperative to help regions that depend on coal switch to cleaner energy sources. The SITRANS (Governance and Social Impact of Coal Regions under Transition) project financed by the EU looks at how local governments can be supported to make this transition fair for everyone. We’re focusing on places where coal is a big deal and trying to explain the shift clearly and easily. University of Western Macedonia, Greece, is the leader of this project, and related organisations from Poland, Bulgaria, and Italy are the main partners.
