西マケドニア地域はギリシャの主要な褐炭採掘地域であり、2019年の政府の段階的廃止コミットメントにより社会経済的再編が進んでいる。この研究は、二重のグリーン・デジタル移行政策と既存の不平等の相互作用を分析し、雇用、スキル開発、資金アクセスの課題を明らかにしている。結果は、再生可能エネルギー投資の雇用創出が限定的であり、訓練プログラムが需要と一致していないことを示している。
English
This case study examines the green and digital transition in Western Macedonia, Greece, a region heavily dependent on lignite mining. It analyzes how transition policies interact with socio-economic inequalities, finding that renewable investments create fewer jobs than lignite, training programs are misaligned with labor demand, and funding access is hindered by administrative complexity.

日本のGX文脈において
日本でも石炭火力発電のフェーズアウトが課題となる中、本ケーススタディは雇用・スキル開発の観点から公正な移行の実現可能性を示唆する。特に、地域の既存不平等を考慮した政策設計の重要性を強調している。
In the global GX context
This paper contributes to the global discourse on just transition by providing empirical evidence from a European region undergoing rapid decarbonization. It highlights challenges in aligning training programs with labor demand and ensuring equitable access to transition funds, relevant for regions in Germany, Poland, and elsewhere.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:This paper offers insights into the socio-economic dynamics of energy transition and the importance of considering inequality in policy design.
🏢実務担当者:Sustainability teams can learn about the challenges of reskilling workers and aligning training with actual labor needs in a transitioning region.

📄 Abstract（原文）
The Region of Western Macedonia in Greece represents one of Europe's most emblematic cases of transition-related vulnerability. For nearly seventy years the region functioned as the primary energy hub of Greece, hosting approximately 80% of national lignite mining capacity and contributing between 34% and 45% of regional gross value added at its peak. The Greek government's 2019 commitment to a complete lignite phase-out by 2028 has set in motion a profound socio-economic reconfiguration, unfolding against deep structural constraints: population declined by 10.3% between 2011 and 2021, lifelong learning participation stands at just 3–4%, and the region is classified as an "Emerging Innovator" under the Regional Innovation Scoreboard. The policy response is anchored in the Just Transition Development Plan (JTDP), supported by the Just Transition Fund, the Recovery and Resilience Facility, ESF+, and ERDF, and complemented by the SYNERGiNN European Digital Innovation Hub for SME digitalisation. This case study examines how policies supporting the twin green and digital transition interact with existing socio-economic inequalities, with a focus on employment dynamics, skills development, and access to emerging opportunities. The analysis demonstrates that the transition is shaped by deeply embedded inequalities across the policy cycle. Large-scale renewable energy investments generate lower employment intensity than the lignite sector and have limited local economic spillovers. Up to 50% of affected workers require reskilling, yet training programmes delivered through the Public Employment Service (DYPA) are not consistently aligned with actual labour demand. Access to funding is conditioned by administrative complexity — described by local stakeholders as a "technical race" — that systematically advantages institutionally stronger actors, while spatial concentration of investment and energy poverty risks from the disruption of lignite-based district heating further compound these dynamics.
