The Just Energy Transition from the Perspective of Cities and Regions – the experience of Poland and other European Union countries

Climate change is a global problem - it requires the cooperation of countries all over the world and the implementation of sustainable development concepts. 

In mBank-CASE Seminar Proceedings no. 177 authors describe the ways selected Polish regions tackled the challenges of transition towards sustainable energy.

Agnieszka Kulesa, Vice-President of CASE Management Board, focuses on Lusatia, Upper Nitra and Greater Poland and the way these regions handled the transition, highlighting the role of lignite mining.

Aleksandra Gawlikowska-Fyk, Energy Forum expert and director of the Electricity comments on Agnieszka’s findings.

Next chapters focus on the way two cities in Poland managed to make their way through an energy transition:

Konin - described by Piotr Korytkowski, Its President, and

Wałbrzych - by Andrzej Kosiór, Head of the Strategic Management Office.
