JTPeers Exchange, Knowledge sharing among regions in transition : lessons learned from five peer-to-peer exchanges implemented in spring 2025

The Just Transition Platform (JTP) supports a just transition across Europe's coal and carbon-intensive regions with a single access point to support the transition to a sustainable, climate-neutral economy. The Platform is the EU's key tool to help Member States and regions unlock the support available through the Just Transition Mechanism, ensuring a fair and 'just' transition that leaves no person or region behind. It provides technical assistance, capacity-building programmes as well as knowledge sharing resources to enable the implementation of a fair and inclusive transition for all stakeholders involved. One of the JTP's capacity-building programmes is the JTPeers Exchange programme. Launched in May 2023, this peer-to-peer programme facilitates both region-to-region and expert-to-region exchanges between Just Transition Fund (JTF) territories and other relevant stakeholders, including regional and public authorities, NGOs, universities, trade unions, businesses, and just transition experts from the JTPeers Experts Database. The programme aims to foster collaboration, share expertise, and develop innovative solutions to common challenges regions face during the implementation of their Territorial Just Transition Plans (TJTPs).
