European Week of Regions and Cities

Green transitions in coal regions: regional development through bioeconomy

This interactive online session will show how coal-phase out regions like Germany’s Rhenish mining area and Greece’s Western Macedonia - together with EU Horizon Europe projects such as BIO2REG, BIOTRANSFORM, and BIO-INSPIRE - are using regional strengths, bioeconomy solutions, and strong community engagement to drive just and sustainable transitions in agriculture, industry, energy and more. Short impulse talks will be followed by an open discussion on creating jobs, restoring environments, and offering new prospects in regions moving away from coal or cutting greenhouse gas emissions.
