Just Transition Culture – Art and activism in transitioning regions

The Just Transition Culture event took place in Eastern Wielkopolska in Poland on 21-25 June 2025. It was organised by activists and artists from three European just transition regions: Eastern Wielkopolska in Poland, Western Macedonia in Greece and Jiu Valley in Romania. The activities included art workshops, exhibitions, wall murals, the painting of a mining locomotive, concerts and study visits. Without the participation of the people you can see in this short film, who dedicated their time, energy and passion, the event would not have even taken place.

We're Bankwatch

We expose the risks of international public finance and bring critical updates from the ground. We believe that the billions of public money should work for people and the environment.

CAMPAIGN AREAS

Beyond fossil fuels

Coal is an outdated industry on its last leg. Public finance can move our economies in a new, socially responsible direction.

Rights, democracy, development

Public money must not become an auxiliary for human rights violations or the marginalisation of affected communities.

Finance and biodiversity

A clash is raging between nature and finance. Our work where finance meets the natural world advocates for adequate protection and restoration projects to ensure a green future for all.

Energy transformation

We work to ensure that EU financial flows address the climate crisis and do no harm to people and nature. We do this by involving the public in the design and spending of EU investments.

Cities for people

City residents should have a say in how this money is spent in their cities. Their voices can help make their cities more resilient in the face of climate challenges.
