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.
