Multi-Level Dialogue on Just Transition  

​​​​​​​The Multilevel Dialogue on Just Transition is being hosted by the European Committee of the Regions and organised in cooperation with the European Commission. The aim of the Dialogue is to promote exchange between the different levels of governance in the process of just transition throughout Europe. The European Union has to make the most out of the Just Transition Mechanism, and the participation of cities and regions is of key importance to its success.

The plans of the European Union are to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 55% by 2030 and achieve climate neutrality by 2050. This undertaking requires a socio-economic transformation, especially in regions relying heavily on fossil fuels and carbon-intensive industries. In this context, the regional representatives and guests from all parts of Europe will share their experiences and recommendations, helping to define the future shape of the policy.

The event will take place in Brussels, room VMA 3 of the European Committee of the Regions, and ONLINE on 27 April 2023 from 10:00am till 12:45pm. Interpretation will be available in EN, DE, ES and SV. To participate, please register under the following link, by indicating your choices and proposing questions to the panellists. Interactive participation during the event is expected and encouraged!
