Coal in the 21st century: Integrating policy with practice for just transitions

This paper focuses on the practice of "just coal transitions," which are proving to be more difficult to execute and much slower to realize than anticipated. The authors discuss what has been learned from coal transition experiences – including those occurring in Australia, West Virginia, and Poland – and how lessons from these regions can be applied to managing any just coal transition around the world. The analysis concludes with recommendations on enhancing the integration of policy and practice.
