Litt om The Just Transition Platform:
The Just Transition Platform (JTP) is the key tool to help EU Member States and regions unlock support available through the Just Transition Mechanism (JTM). It ensures that all stakeholders have the guidance, information and knowledge they need to support Europe's just transition to a sustainable, climate-neutral economy. Established in 2020, the JTP is your single access point to information about the support for the EU territories most affected by the transition. It provides technical assistance and advice, including a dedicated helpdesk. The Platform also promotes sharing of knowledge and exchanges of best practices to a wide range of stakeholders, particularly in regions dependent on fossil fuels or carbon-intensive industries.
The Platform organises regular events for all stakeholders and gives the floor to financial actors, social partners, business representatives, youth organisations and transition experts to discuss the needs and challenges of the just transition. Another key initiative involves four dedicated JTP Working Groups for carbon-intensive regions, focusing on steel, cement, chemicals and horizontal stakeholder strategy.
