About the JTPeers Experts Database

The JTPeers Experts Database gives access to a broad pool of professionals specialising in a variety of just transition topics relevant for coal and carbon-intensive regions across the European Union. In this database, you will find experts who offer advice to regions in transition such as the implementation of Territorial Just Transition Plans (TJTPs).

The European Commission is not responsible for the content of the support provided by the experts. Experts are responsible for the content of the information provided in their portfolio on the JTP Expert Database.

This database offers you and your region:

Access to specialised knowledge: Just transition involves complex challenges and requires specialised knowledge in areas such as energy production and energy systems, job creation, social inclusion, and sustainable economic development. A database of experts enables stakeholders to easily gain access to professionals with the specific expertise needed to address these challenges effectively.

Best practices and lessons learned: The database serves as a repository of best practices and lessons learned from experts who have successfully navigated similar transitions. Accessing this wealth of knowledge can help regions avoid pitfalls, accelerate progress, and implement effective strategies.

It encourages networking and collaboration, enabling the sharing of experiences, innovative ideas, and successful approaches. This collaborative environment fosters a community of practice, further enhancing the collective expertise in the field.
