Abstract

Abstract The green transition unfolding on a global scale is much less studied at the regional level, although its outcomes and management are strongly place-specific. This article presents a comparative study of green transition strategies in the Silesian Voivodeship (Poland) and the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug (KMAO) – Ugra (Russia), based on a qualitative content analysis of regional legislation and strategies. The regions share common specialisation in fossil fuel mining and have inherited some features of post-socialist economies. Research shows three common features of green transition policies in the studied regions. Firstly, much attention is paid to the dissemination of information about green transition and its benefits. Secondly, research on various green subjects and educational programmes for green market requirements are developed. Thirdly, it is planned for renewables to have a larger proportion in regional energy mixes. By mid-century, both regions are expected to reach climate neutrality, although by using different paths of development. Coal mines are planned to be closed down in the Silesian Voivodeship by 2050, while the KMAO – Ugra will retain its oil-mining specialisation but diversify it with hydrogen production.

区域绿色转型:波兰和俄罗斯地区的案例

在全球范围内展开的绿色转型在区域层面上的研究要少得多，尽管其结果和管理具有很强的地方特异性。本文在对区域立法和战略进行定性内容分析的基础上，对波兰西里西亚省和俄罗斯汉特-曼西斯克自治区的绿色转型战略进行了比较研究。这些地区在化石燃料开采方面有着共同的专长，并继承了后社会主义经济的一些特征。研究表明，研究区域绿色转型政策具有三个共同特征。首先，重视绿色转型及其效益信息的传播。其次，对各种绿色主题进行研究，并制定绿色市场需求的教育计划。三是提高可再生能源在区域能源结构中的比重。到本世纪中叶，这两个地区有望实现气候中和，尽管采用不同的发展道路。西里西亚省的煤矿计划到2050年关闭，而KMAO - Ugra将保留其石油开采专业化，但将通过氢气生产实现多元化。

期刊介绍： Quaestiones Geographicae was established in 1974 as an annual journal of the Institute of Geography, Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań, Poland. Its founder and first editor was Professor Stefan Kozarski. Initially the scope of the journal covered issues in both physical and socio-economic geography; since 1982, exclusively physical geography. In 2006 there appeared the idea of a return to the original conception of the journal, although in a somewhat modified organisational form. Quaestiones Geographicae publishes research results of wide interest in the following fields: •physical geography, •economic and human geography, •spatial management and planning,
