Publication: Heroes of Just Transition

dflip

‘Heroes of Just Transition’ features seven stories from coal communities around Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), the challenges they face as they move away from coal and the solutions they find – sometimes even in spite of resistance from the central governments. The Bankwatch publication was launched during the side event ‘Local communities build a post-coal future’ at the COP24 in Katowice and tells stories from Bulgaria, Romania, Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary and Slovakia.
