The project aims to contribute to a transition that addresses the economic and social dimensions of decarbonizing the energy sector, in line with the Paris Agreement and the long-term net-zero emissions target. Through research and dialogue among stakeholders, it seeks to increase knowledge of just transition and strengthen participation in energy transition planning. The first phase included national and local stakeholder interviews, a just transition perceptions study, case studies in Muğla and Çanakkale, workshops, and a study visit to Spain.
