Just Transition Directive: Job creation and local economies

This procedure focuses on ensuring a fair transition to a greener economy by protecting workers and revitalising local economies. It aims to prevent unemployment and economic decline in regions heavily dependent on carbon-intensive industries as the EU shifts toward climate neutrality.

This affects workers in traditional industrial sectors and local governments in transitioning regions. It focuses on job creation, retraining programs, and the strategic use of EU funds to support employment.
