One of the key goals of JUSTEM is to provide recommendations for coal regions to alleviate energy poverty vis-à-vis the just transition.
Based on an analysis of energy poverty on the pilot regions, JUSTEM developed a set of energy poverty alleviation plans (PL, BG, ES, GR, RO, HR) tailored to address the likely challenges of each region. The plans aim to help local and regional authorities mitigate the risk of energy poverty in their communities through a set of structured interventions with proposed timelines and budget estimates aligned with existing and anticipated European, national, and regional legislation.
The plans:
– Include a uniform model for monitoring and evaluation to help local authorities with the timely identification of issues and areas for improvement.
– Will support regional authorities to ensure that they can move towards a sustainable and inclusive future by taking into account the unique needs and priorities of coal-dependent communities.
– Support the principle of the just transition to ‘leave no one behind’.
