The conference aims to showcase the variety of challenges, as well as solutions, that can be employed to approach the transition in an effective and equitable way. This will be done by presenting work from four continents, including by governments in Europe (Poland), Asia (Indonesia), the Americas (Brazil), and Africa (South Africa). The conference is organised to advance the discussion among experts from the energy sector, administration, science institutions, and civil society organisations from Poland and around the world. This international conference is organised on the occasion of the Annual Meeting of the International Network of Energy Transition Think Tanks (INETTT) in Warsaw.

From 9-13 September 2024 the International Network of Energy Transition Think Tanks (INETTT) will hold its Annual Meeting in Poland. Hosted in Warsaw by its Polish member – Forum Energii – the meeting is set to delve into the realities of supporting just transitions in INETTT member countries. It also aims to facilitate global exchange on the topic through an international conference on the multi-faceted nature of just transitions (taking place on 12 September) with the participation of government representatives from Poland and other countries. Attendees will also witness change in the making through a study tour to Europe’s biggest lignite power plant in transition.

The Polish capacity market has been approved by the European Commission for 10 years. This means that in 2025 the last auction will take place, in which capacity will be contracted for 2030. The question arises, what next for the capacity market in Poland? According to the Polish law, the Council of Ministers, no later than in 2024 must assess the functioning of the capacity market. It must also submit a proposal on whether to change or abolish the mechanism.
