For the last 150 years, coal mining has had a significant impact on economic and social development of the Savinjsko-šaleška region, especially the Šalek Valley. The Šalek Valley has paid a heavy environmental price for its wider social development.
Today, coal mining is no longer an industry of the future, and a multi-level restructuring of the entire region is needed, a just transition, a process that will take many years.
3DIVERSE is developing a model to help restructure the Savinjsko – šaleška region, introducing a comprehensive, multi-sectoral and multi-level approach to planning and implementing investments in sustainable energy infrastructure through the coordinated application of supply and demand side measures.
The video, produced by Razvojna agencija Savinjsko – šaleške regije, is aimed at visitors to the region, politicians, business people and others. It is a comprehensive presentation of the role of the Šalek Valley in the energy sector in the past, the negative consequences and environmental damage, and the future orientations of the commitment to climate neutrality.
