Improving territorial justice: Transparency, inclusiveness, capacity building and strategy in the Territorial Just Transition Plans

The EU has set the goal of achieving a just transition in which no one gets left behind. To achieve this objective, member states have created Territorial Just Transition Plans, which lay out the transition processes in regions that need support during the transition to a carbon-neutral economy. This policy brief showcases the lessons learnt from the TJTP process that can and should further inform and improve other ongoing and future transition processes. It does so by exploring four key areas of interest that are crucial in ensuring effective transition processes, as well as procedural and distributive justice: transparency; inclusiveness; capacity building; and strategy.
