Just Transition or Just Talk

A statement by Ember outlining seven demands for the European Union's Just Transition Mechanism to ensure that funding supports a genuine shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy and climate neutrality.

• Ember demands that the Just Transition Fund and Territorial Just Transition Plans completely exclude coal and all other fossil fuels, specifically gas, and that all funding through the Just Transition Mechanism adheres to EU Taxonomy rules.
• The organization proposes that access to the Just Transition Fund be made conditional upon Member States providing coal phase-out commitments, establishing closure dates for coal activities, and demonstrating speed in transitioning from fossil fuels.
• Ember calls for all EU Member States to commit to a coal phase-out by 2030 at the latest, transitioning to renewable energy systems and ambitious emission reductions to align with the Paris Agreement.
• The statement emphasizes that National Energy and Climate plans (NECPs) must be updated to include concrete plans for leaping from coal to renewables and applying the energy efficiency first principle to meet revised 2030 climate targets.
