Just Transition Fund: Council endorses the political deal with the Parliament
The EU has taken a major step on the path towards an effective and fair green transition that will lessen the costs for those communities across Europe who are heavily dependent on fossil fuels.
EU ambassadors today endorsed the provisional political agreement reached by the German Presidency of the Council and the European Parliament on the new
€17.5 billion Just Transition Fund (JTF).
The Just Transition Fund is an affirmation of our solidarity and political will as a Union to tackle climate change together. It will help to reconcile economy and ecology. We cannot implement the European Green Deal without mitigating the consequences for those most affected by the decarbonisation of our economy.
