  • Coal phase-out in the European Union from the perspective of ecological modernisation – a case study of Slovenia
    Šilak, Žiga Anže ; Marčenko, Erik ; Lukšič, Andrej
    Coal phase-out is an integral part of the modern-day political agenda, as well as a crucial point in the fight for large-scale emissions reduction. In recent decades many European countries have ... pledged to phase out coal. Some of these states are falling behind with their pledges and financing the transition beyond coal. The main goal of this paper is to provide a critical insight into the sufficiency or insufficiency of current governmental policies in the case of the coal phase-out in Slovenia and to outline policy frameworks and mechanisms defined by the European Union. We discover the fundamental elements of transitioning away from coal consumption and, at the same time, emphasise the importance of a just transition. Furthermore, we analyse key factors, institutions and actors in the specific transition in Slovenia.
