Abstract

The European Union (EU) is globally recognised as a leading institution in the field of sustainability, having introduced several climate policies prior to the most recent European Green Deal (EGD). However, while these policies are mainly directed to member states, a vast amount of fossil fuels is imported from the global south. This chapter investigates the just transition (JT) associated with EU sustainability policies abroad at the case of Colombia, which has been one of the EU’s main coal suppliers for decades. The chapter concludes by discussing EU policies acknowledging its responsibility for historical coal mining and associated damage in third countries.
