Coal regions exchange programme

From 14-16 March, participants of the coal regions exchange programme from
Velenje (Slovenia) visited Pljevlja (Montenegro) to learn from each other’s
experiences working towards just energy transitions. This visit followed a study trip
to Lukavac, Banovići and Živinice, as well as one that brought stakeholders to
Western Macedonia. On this occasion, we look back at these three latest exchange
visits that took place within the programme. Tailored agendas, meetings with key
stakeholders, and, most importantly, strong motivation of hosting and visiting
delegations to move just transitions forward have proven to be their recipe for
success. Learn more about the visits below and watch the videos to get first-hand
impressions.

(How) Can energy transition be gender-just?

The webinar will underline why attention to gender equality is crucial for
policymakers and industry actors, and provide tools that can ensure a truly just
