Just Transition Platform project fiche : Revierwende

The Revierwende project is the central contribution of the German trade union movement to ensure worker participation and the representation of their interests in the process of phasing out coal mining and coalbased energy production. It was created with the support of the Federal Ministry of Economics and began work in October 2021. The projects main goals are: strengthening employee participation in the structural development of the coalfields; providing an inclusive approach with outreach beyond trade unions and work councils and the core energy sector; providing knowledge transfer of good practices across the coal regions and beyond. The project is cross-sectoral and inter-regional. The four main coal regions in Germany are involved in the project: Lusatian coalfield; Central German coalfield; the Rhenish coalfield; and the Saarland coalfield. The project supports the regions directly in the implementation of initiatives and programmes that aim at ensuring a future-oriented transition.
