About the project
Industrial regions have a big environmental footprint and must undergo an economic transformation to respect planetary boundaries and align with their own, national and EU sustainability goals. At the same time, they face pressures to make the transformation just, fair, and affordable. Big investments are needed and transformation leads to volatility on regional labor markets with significant impacts on the working population.
The challenge for city regions is to avoid a silo-based fragmented approach and take an integrative perspective in industrial transformation that takes all these aspects into account simultaneously.They learn from each other how to do this by peer reviewing their current approaches and sharing best practices.
The Project aims to: Exchange experiences and learnings among the partner city regions on how to organize a just transition and Discover, design and test new effective approaches, that navigate trade-off between the social, environmental, and economical.
