Recent research shows how the four CINTRAN regions respond to increasing decarbonization pressures, and periodizes the occurring energy transition process. We find that: (i) regions that have a clear plan for workers’ transitions with funding attached are at an advantage in progressing to further transition phases; (ii) strategies of resistance, adaptation and transformation do not necessarily occur in sequence and movement between transition phases is not smooth ..read more

While the decarbonisation of the energy sector is slowly gaining pace, just transition implementation in coal and carbon intensive regions is often a black box, lacking a basic consensus about its goal and focus. CINTRAN’s new Just Transition Readiness Evaluation Tool aims to open that black box by identifying policy areas & approaches that are relevant for a just transition on the local level as a first step to truly advance on implementation ..read more

This is the next CINTRAN capacity building event for coal+ regions, which brings together practitioners’ voices from several European coal regions to discuss the launch of the Just Transition Readiness Evaluation Tool ..read more

Achieving climate neutrality by 2050, as announced in the EU Green Deal, will be particularly challenging for carbon-intensive regions with energy intensive industries such as coal mining, basic chemicals or steel and cement production. At the same time, the economic, social and territorial cohesion should not be put at risk so that ‘no person or place is left behind ..read more

The future of coal remains contested in many countries, hindering necessary energy transitions. Collaborative governance approaches, such as stakeholder commissions, have been proposed as potential solutions to resolve such societal conflicts. In Germany, a stakeholder commission process managed to overcome the existing stalemate situation, leading to the adoption of a coal phase-out by 2038. Thise article analyses how the stalemate situation in the German conflict over the future of coal was overcome and how the commission’s outcome was achieved ..read more
