PROJECT DESCRIPTION (DE)
The phase-out of coal in developing and emerging countries poses significant economic and social challenges and poses a threat to jobs, local livelihoods, and regional economies. As these regions transition away from coal, many communities are struggling to adapt to the new economic realities. This can exacerbate social inequalities and leave vulnerable populations, especially women, behind.
A just energy transition is crucial to ensuring that workers, communities, and employers navigate these changes.
The project promotes a just phase-out of coal and ensures inclusive and long-term economic development. Its focus is on creating decent work opportunities and improving social protection in selected coal-producing regions in Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
Interregional Platform: This platform supports exchange between coal-producing regions in the Global South through a global network, policy dialogue, and a shared knowledge hub. The project supports planning for a just energy transition in coal-producing regions of Indonesia, particularly East Kalimantan and South Sumatra, as well as in energy communities in Colombia.
The project is being implemented in collaboration with several partners, including Climate Action Network International (CAN I), the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD), the IAO, the Wuppertal Institute for Climate, Environment and Energy, the Solidarity Center, and Union Aid Abroad (APHEDA).
