Hard coal phase-out and the labour market transition pathways: The case of Poland

Jakub Sokolowski et al.

Summary: This study investigates the labor market transition pathways during the coal phase-out in Poland from 1990 to 2050. By applying the concept of branching points, the research examines the impact of structural changes, labor supply, and educational upgrading on the coal transition. Findings indicate that job opportunities for miners were scarce in the 1990s and 2000s, but have improved in the 2010s. The employment structures in mining subregions and mines are homogeneous, enabling regional approaches for managing the transition. Although decarbonization will lead to a surplus of coal mining workers in Poland from 2030 onwards, projected shortages in other sectors create opportunities for reallocation.

The political economy of coal phase-out: Exploring the actors, objectives, and contextual factors shaping policies in eight major coal countries

Nils Ohlendorf et al.

Summary: Political economy factors play a crucial role in explaining why some countries continue to expand their coal capacity. This study finds that regardless of political or economic systems, the ministry for energy, the head of state, and the ruling party are consistently the most important political actors, while utilities and mining companies have the most influence as economic actors. Economic growth, electricity system stability, and low electricity costs are key objectives for pro-coal actors.

Coal transitions-part 1: a systematic map and review of case study learnings from regional, national, and local coal phase-out experiences

Francesca Diluiso et al.

Summary: A rapid coal phase-out is crucial to meet the Paris Agreement goals, but faces challenges such as vested interests and social disruption risks. This paper provides a systematic review of historical coal transitions, highlighting the importance of targeting both demand and supply side transitions for successful coal phase-outs. Policymakers play a crucial role in facilitating coal transitions through regulatory instruments and investment plans.
