Post-Coal Future Lab

后煤炭未来实验室（PCFL）倡议由WISE-Europa、气候战略、ERFC和影响中心组成，并得到了EIT Climate- kic的支持。PCFL的设立是为了应对能源转型的复杂挑战，促进欧洲南部、中部和东部地区内部和之间的合作。PCFL旨在成为公正过渡的实际、实验性和参与性支柱，补充现有机制，如公正过渡机制的财政资源和公正过渡平台的技术支持。PCFL的目的是在利益相关者之间建立一个对话与合作的空间，试验和学习如何在欧洲煤炭地区实现公正过渡，成为决策者和利益相关者的合作伙伴，并发展一套知识和专业知识来支持政策和实践。PCFL由两组实验室组成：•迷你实验室，位于南欧、中欧和东欧煤炭地区的区域中心，采用基于地点的方法应对每个特定地区的挑战，并提供与当地生态系统相关的学习。•主实验室，一个跨国虚拟空间，专注于参与，见解生成，知识共享和传播，支持个人迷你实验室的交叉授粉，并与负责公正过渡的国家和欧洲决策者分享当地相关见解，寻求支持高层决策。2022年，PCFL在西里西亚和大波兰（波兰）、西里西亚-摩拉维亚（捷克共和国）和西马其顿（希腊）的煤炭地区建立了主实验室和四个迷你实验室，举办虚拟和面对面的研讨会，建立实践社区，并在地方、区域、国家和国际各级吸引不同的利益相关者。PCFL收集了RIS煤炭地区主要利益相关者在煤炭转型过程中面临的挑战和潜在解决方案的信息，并绘制了公正转型生态系统中未解决的关键挑战(包括欧盟委员会、以及重点地区)和潜在的创新机会，这些机会可以解决这些挑战，并与潜在的合作伙伴发展关系，以便在2023年及以后继续扩大微型实验室。

The Post Coal Future Lab (PCFL) initiative was formed by WISE-Europa, Climate Strategies, ERFC and Impact Hub, with support of EIT Climate-KIC. The PCFL was established to address the complex challenges of the energy transition, facilitating collaboration within and between the Southern, Central and Eastern regions of Europe. The PCFL aimed to become a practical, experimental and participatory pillar of the Just Transition, complementing existing mechanisms, like the financial resources of the Just Transition Mechanism and the technical support of the Just Transition Platform. The purpose of the PCFL was to build a space for dialogue and cooperation amongst stakeholders, experimenting and learning how to achieve a Just Transition in European coal regions, becoming a partner for decision makers and stakeholders and developing a body of knowledge and expertise to support policy and practice.The PCFL consisted of two sets of labs:• Mini Labs, regional centres located in Southern, Central, and Eastern European coal regions adopting a place-based approach to the challenges of each specific territory and producing learnings relevant for the local ecosystems.• Main Lab, a transnational virtual space, focused on engagement, insights generation, knowledge sharing and dissemination, supporting cross-pollination of the individual Mini Labs and sharing locally relevant insights with national and European decision-makers responsible for the Just Transition, seeking to support high-level decisions.In 2022, the PCFL established the Main Lab and four Mini Labs in the coal regions on Silesia and Greater Poland (Poland), Silesia-Moravia (Czech Republic) and Western Macedonia (Greece), holding virtual and in-person workshops building communities of practice and engaging diverse stakeholders at the local, regional, national and international levels. The PCFL gathered information on the challenges and potential solutions which the main stakeholders of the RIS coal regions face, undergoing coal transitions and mapped the key unaddressed challenges within the Just Transition ecosystem (both at the level of the European Commission, as well as the regions of focus) and potential innovation opportunities which could address those challenges and developing relationships with potential partners to continue and expand the mini labs with in 2023 and beyond.
