The just transition of coal regions in Ukraine has encountered numerous challenges over the years. Recently, the most significant barrier has been the full-scale war in the country, which has inevitably impacted all regions in Ukraine – from the eastern to the most western ones. Despite the challenges, the coal regions are determined to transition justly and continue the work started before the invasion.
What is the state of just transition amid the war in Ukraine? What lessons have been learnt so far? How does the situation differ between regions? Why is it essential to plan for just transition as a part of the reconstruction of Ukraine?
At our webinar, these questions and more are answered by our guest panellists:
