Conference Details : The Just Transition Knowledge Network (JETNET), an initiative of the Just Transition Research Centre at IIT Kanpur, invites national and international participants to its Annual Conference 2026. As countries accelerate their transition toward low-carbon development, extractive regions stand at a critical juncture. The growing policy emphasis on mine and power plant closures, repurposing of fossil-fuel-based infrastructures and regional economic restructuring presents both complex challenges and transformative opportunities. For instance, in India, this is underscored by national efforts toward the simultaneous and sustainable closure of coal mines, alongside the need to ensure long-term socio-economic and ecological resilience in affected regions.
