With our regional partners, SZ REDA and the Centre for the Study of Democracy, we are working with communities, policymakers and practitioners in Stara Zagora.

The transition towards climate neutrality and a decarbonized future will be a great challenge for lignite-related activities. This is especially the case regarding the vast magnitude of the Maritsa Iztok Complex, which is also the region’s largest employer.

 

If not properly managed, the energy transition puts the socio-economic stability of the region at risk, the stability of which has contributed to enriching the region’s land and cityscapes as well as art.
