Abstrakt: The aim of the article is to delve into the question of how the just transition concept that is mainly implemented by the JTM, is determined at the EU level and which are its specific characteristics. The article analyses the concept of just transition and its relation to the concepts that address the social justice implications of the environmental, energy and climate policies. Αdditionally, it examines how certain elements of the concept are incorporated in certain EU Key Strategic Documents. The Just Transition Mechanism is analysed in light of the specific criteria of the just transition concept. The main message is that the EU has adopted a rather limited approach in regard to the determination of the regulative elements of the "just transition" concept and that there is a need for a systematic consideration of the social implications of the EU Decarbonisation and Environmental Policies in their whole spectrum.
