What we are doing
1. The operation of the secretariat of the EU initiative for coal regions in transition is needed because it is the main source of expertise, information, and support for coal, peat, and oil shale regions in transition in the EU. It also promotes the EU just transition experience internationally.
2. The secretariat provides expertise, information, and support, which are essential for local and regional governments in coal, peat, and oil shale regions to navigate the transition process.
3. Local and regional governments are likely utilizing the expertise, information, and support provided by the secretariat to facilitate their transition from coal, peat, and oil shale to more sustainable energy sources.

How we are tracking
While coal remains a primary fuel in the European energy mix, the transition to cleaner forms of energy and innovative technologies, such as carbon capture and storage, is imperative to meet the EU’s commitment to reduce CO2 emissions by at least 55% by 2030 and to become the world’s first climate-neutral bloc by 2050.
