SEI Tallinn is working on just transition projects at the EU level, advising the European Environment Agency's expert group on the just transition, as well as supporting the EU's Eastern Partnership countries Georgia, Ukraine, Moldova and Armenia in the preparation of their green transition plans.

In Estonia, the transition to a climate-neutral and sustainable economy will increasingly require a workforce that understands the complex interlinkages between environmental and societal challenges. SEI Tallinn is working on a number of projects to help people, especially youth, to acquire green skills and enter green jobs. Often this helps to tackle another societal problem at the same time, such as tackling marginalisation or helping young people who are not in work or education back into the labour market.
Project / YENSESIS addresses the challenge of unemployment for young people that are Not in Education, Employment or Training (NEET) in islands.
