The European Green Deal construes just transition as ensuring equal access to environmental resources (water, clean air, green areas), employment market, and social and technical infrastructure, along with eliminating developmentrelated disproportions to provide high quality of life and long-term growth opportunities. Such an approach clearly emphasizes the social issues, i.e., the significance of employees and local communities that experience the adverse outcomes of energy transition and reinforced environmental protection that are not limited to climate change alone [Mustata, 2017]. Just transition under Polish conditions, in terms of both media and political discussion, is often confused with energy transition, which is also dubbed "greed transition" or "green revolution" - sometimes to a degree where just transition and energy transition are considered equal. In recent years, just transition has become a downright trendy slogan, scrupulously applied by politicians, and representatives of trade unions and ecological organizations. The stakes in this game are the large expectations related to just transition, for example, in the form of obtaining funding allocated by the EU for this purpose. The goals of this monograph include collecting and organizing knowledge, experience and studies related to just transition, and formulating strategic recommendations for Poland's coal regions. It is an attempt at providing a synthetic insight into the multi-contest situations within these areas, and indicating their specificity and diversity. This also means, by providing a supporting review of the development concept and by identifying the strategic stakes of this process's stakeholders - formulating normative proposals for changes in the context of both the green and digital economy, as well as initiating conditions for utilizing the process change associated with switching to a low-emission economy for the purposes of accelerating the development of Poland's coal regions.
