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 fosters dialogue across regions and between stakeholders through knowledge-sharing, capacity building, and exchange between coal regions in the Western Balkans and Ukraine and in the EU. ICLEI Europe is part of the consortium that runs the secretariat of the initiative. The initiative is led by the European Commission and six collaborating international partners: the World Bank, the Energy Community Secretariat, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the European Investment Bank, Poland’s National Fund for Environment Protection and Water Management, and the College of Europe in Natolin.
