Today, the scientific team at the Just Transition Observatory (JT-Observatory) gathered for a highly productive meeting, marking a significant step toward the next phase of the project—field research. As we near the completion of our comprehensive literature review, the team is now focused on preparing the tools and methods needed to conduct research in three regions significantly affected by the energy transition.
The meeting featured in-depth discussions on the research methods that will be employed, including questionnaires, interviews, and focus groups. These research activities will be conducted in three key regions:
Western Macedonia, Greece
Silesia, Poland
Stara Zagora, Bulgaria
In the coming weeks, the team will travel to Poland to kick off this critical fieldwork. Research tools are currently being finalized and tested to ensure the highest standards of data collection and meaningful insights.
This field research is crucial for understanding the socio-economic impacts of the energy transition in these carbon-intensive regions and will provide vital information to support a just, fair, and inclusive future. The JT-Observatory project is committed to ensuring that the transition to a carbon-neutral society benefits all regions and their communities.
