ACTIVITY INFORMATION
What we are doing

The Initiative for coal regions in transition in the Western Balkans and Ukraine aims to help countries and regions to move away from coal towards a carbon-neutral economy, while ensuring that this transition is just. It will deliver support to coal regions in EU neighbouring countries, namely in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo*, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia, and Ukraine. It is managed by the European Commission and 6 collaborating international partners: the World Bank, the Energy Community Secretariat, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), the European Investment Bank (EIB), Poland’s National Fund for Environment Protection and Water Management (NFOSiGW), and the College of Europe in Natolin. *This designation is without prejudice to positions on status, and is in line with UNSCR 1244/1999 and the ICJ opinion on the Kosovo declaration of independence.

What we are achieving

The initiative’s secretariat will provide direct support for its implementation and ensuring collaboration across the diversity of institutions and actors that the initiative will engage. The secretariat will moreover be actively involved in maintaining relationships with relevant stakeholders in the coal regions and engaging them in the discussion through communication activities and tailored events, such as public meetings and local workshops. It will also develop and implement the coal region-to-region exchange programme with coal regions from the EU.
