Title: Just Transition in Serbia - consultant
Location: Serbia
Duration: December 2021– March 2022.
Type of contract: Consultancy
Application deadline: 24. 12. 2021.
WWF is one of the world’s leading non-governmental and non-profit nature conservation organizations. WWF was established in 1961, and now has representative offices in over 100 countries across the globe, with approximately 6200 employees. WWF is proud of the over five million people who support the organization.
WWF Adria implements the mission and vision of the WWF in the 8 countries of the Western Balkans. In Serbia, we are implementing the “Panda Labs Junior for Just Transition” project, funded by EUKI.
The concept of “just transition” enables the transition to a low-carbon economy in a responsible and accountable manner by caring for people who lose their income, especially workers in the energy and coal industry. The project seeks to establish a strong community of young green innovators and entrepreneurs, creating conditions to reduce emigration from key coal regions by developing the innovation culture for Just Transition and Climate Change issues and provoking political and societal change on local and national level. Project will mobilize and empower youth (ages 15 – 25) to engage in policy advocacy on Just Transition by offering alternative ‘green’ economic development scenarios for coal regions. Project location in Serbia is the Obrenovac region.
Objective of the Consultancy
The objective of this assignment is to conduct a study on the potentialities of just transition in the country, focusing on the Obrenovac region as a case study.

Deliverables
