21 4 Concluding remarks

22 Public ownership matters The energy transition should be seen as a strategic process that relies in governmental planning and implementation, rather than confined to market forces

23 The transition is a political issue Energy planning should include a long-term perspective and take into consideration social, cultural and political implications, in addition to the classic technicaleconomic analysis

24 Energy workers and local communities must be heard The trade unions of the energy sector, REScoops and local civil society organisations should be involved in the planning and implementation of the transition
