The Just Transition Fund (JTF) is a new instrument of the Cohesion Policy 2021-2027, as the first pillar of the Just Transition Mechanism in the context of the European Green Deal aiming at achieving the EU climate-neutrality by 2050.
The Commission provides support to Member States having identified the territories expected to be the most negatively impacted by the transition towards climate-neutrality.
The Just Transition Fund supports the economic diversification and reconversion of the territories concerned. This means
- up- and reskilling of workers
- investments in Small and Medium-sized Enterprises
- creation of new firms
- research and innovation
- environmental rehabilitation
- clean energy
- job-search assistance
- transformation of existing carbon-intensive installations
