Poland’s coal phase-out creates opportunities in the green economy

Phasing out coal is one of the most vital steps to fighting climate change and protecting the planet. A Just Transition from coal to cleaner energy offers communities significant economic and social opportunities as well. The town of Libiąż, Poland, located in a centuries-old coal mining region, is in the midst of this transition. Local government, community groups, trade unions, and civil society organizations are working together to diversify the local economy, repurpose former mining lands, and train workers for green jobs.
