The tailor-made technical support will help develop the evidence base needed for the preparation of the territorial just transition plan (TJTP). This support also extends to the Czech Republic, where the preparation of the TJTP is led by a team from the Ministry of Regional Development in cooperation with experts from the three coal regions and assisted by the Technical Support team, hired by the European Commission.
The Technical Support provided to the Czech Republic would last until July 2021 and will result in suggestions for: i) the governance mechanism and the stakeholders’ engagement; ii) the transition process to climate neutrality; and iii) the challenges, needs and action plans for the most affected regions of Ústí, Karlovy Vary and Moravia Silesia.
The Technical Support is implemented by a team comprised of international and local experts from Frankfurt School of Finance & Management (as part of the AARC Consortium) in cooperation with Czech Technical University, Cambridge Econometrics and Trinomics.
