Environment Exiting from coal in 2033 at the latest is most consistent with international, EU and national energy and climate goals (based on the Paris Agreement and with the EU&#39;s strengthened climate ambitions until 2030).  In addition to climate impacts and energy opportunities, the exit from coal in 2033 at the latest has the least impact on the surface and further spatial and environmental devaluation associated with mining and related activities, and the most impact on human health. Due to the expected minor impacts on the devaluation of the environment, the exit from coal in 2033 at the latest is based on support for existing PV efforts and on-going spatial and environmental rehabilitation.  Long-term monitoring of the impacts of mining on the environment will be ensured, including existing PV capacities and know-how, and at the same time a system will be established for comprehensive monitoring of the environmental effects of exiting coal. i In the event of a successful exit from coal and restructuring of the region and coal-related companies, the relevant knowledge and experience will be able to be exported on a global level. Energy From 2020, the use of coal in the EU member states is rapidly decreasing (phasing out), and the prices of emission coupons are increasing. In connection with this, issues of the financial stability of the HSE will have to be addressed, including the early repayment of TE&#39;s debt. The scenario opens up opportunities for greater investments in the energy transition process, in the region and beyond, with a special emphasis on sustainable energy sources.  The deficit of domestic electricity production and the harmonization of goals regarding the necessary investments in the energy sector, which will be a direct or indirect consequence of the implementation of the strategy, must be addressed at the national level in the NEPN, which will be adopted in 2024, whereby all the necessary professional bases will be prepared beforehand. The scenario requires decisive measures to ensure an alternative source of heat for the district heating system in the aleka Valley. The exit from coal in 2033 at the latest brings an opportunity for a new positioning of Slovenia on the international energy market and for promoting a more diverse supply, including a significant increase in RES.  The exit from coal in 2033 at the latest will be supported by the immediate preparation of a legal framework for the closure of a
