Global Perspective on Coal Jobs and Managing Labor Transition out of Coal: Key Issues and Policy Responses
This World Bank report explores the challenges of coal mine closures and how to support the transition of affected workers, including not only those displaced from mining jobs but also those employed in other parts of the coal value chain or in coal-dependent communities.
This report analyzes the status of coal phase-out around the world, the magnitude and character of coal mining jobs and their spillovers in local economies, and the challenges associated with future labor transition. This report is part of a broader multi-sector effort by the World Bank to support coal regions confronting the realities of decarbonization and help lay the groundwork for achieving a just transition for all.
