The Just Transition Fund was established to support projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, create new jobs, promote social inclusion, and protect the environment. However, the regulation establishing the Fund only outlines generic guidelines and principles that projects are expected to meet, without going into specific detail.
In our webinar, we explored the types of projects that can maximise the Fund’s transformative potential and effectively address the core challenges faced by the just transition regions. We’ also lokked closely at the Territorial Just Transition Plans to see whether they offer opportunities to bring about meaningful structural change.
Our panellists:

The discussion was be led by Joanna Jakubowska, Just Transition Policy Officer at CEE Bankwatch Network.
