5 a. Stresses that the Just Transition Mechanism must ensure an adequate, inclusive and fair transition for all; underlines that the Member States and regions have different starting points and needs when it comes to the transition to a sustainable economy and that, consequently, some of them will be much more exposed to economic and social risks; deplores, in this regard, that the existing financial proposal for the Just Transition Fund1a will most likely prove insufficient to achieve this goal at the expense of other funding mechanisms; _________________ 1aProposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing the Just Transition Fund (COM/2020/22 final)
