[Part 2] This is the second part of the episode on youth's role in the Just Transition, before tuning in do not forget to listen to the first part!

The EU has prioritised a just transition concerning areas of the economy heavily reliant on the extraction and combustion of fossil fuels. Such areas include West Macedonia and Megalopoli in Greece, where many households relied on income from brown coal mines and power plants. As coal is phased out to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and reduce GHG emissions, locals have to look for alternative methods of income generation; a socioeconomic challenge therefore appears, particularly in Greece which has been hardly hit by unemployment.

In this second part of the podcast episode, hosted by YEE Alex Kassapis, he talks with experts exploring how resources can be most effectively utilised to strengthen the role of youth in the just transition, create employment opportunities and provide benefits for young people.

In particular, Alex is joined by two experts: Ioanna Theodosiou from the renowned Greek think tank "The Green Tank", shedding light on how resources can be effectively utilized to strengthen the role of youth in Greece's just transition areas. Followed by Kostis Stergiou from the Association of Active Youths of Florina (www.oenef.eu) and Head of Europe Direct Western Macedonia, who directly supports youth initiatives in the just transition area and constitutes a link between the EU Commission and local affairs.

On Climate & Law is a podcast discussing the legal sphere to implement stronger policies in fighting climate change with a resulting collaboration between Rethinking Climate and Youth and Environment Europe (YEE) to promote clarity on this topic.
