The key aspects of this transition, includes renewable energy projects, economic diversification, environmental rehabilitation, job training, community engagement, and the role of the Circular Economy Living Lab (CELL). Additionally, it highlights the role of the Mines Grouting Fund in mitigating subsidence risks associated with abandoned coal mines and the rezoning of heavy industry land use.
