Abstract

The European Green Deal strategy, implemented in The United Europe until the beginning of 2025, which was replaced in UE in March of this year by the Clean Industrial Deal strategy, brings with it undoubted environmental benefits, but it is also associated with considerable economic challenges, including those related to social determinants. This article focuses on the difficulties, presenting estimates of the cost levels reflecting economic and social losses in the environmental value chain of hard coal mining in Poland in relation to the planned liquidation of the hard coal sector for energy purposes in this country. The result of these calculations and the discussions conducted on their basis is the author's final statement about very high economic and social losses, which may be difficult to respond to, especially in a short time, with valuable benefits resulting from the implementation of new industrial solutions in the field of energy based on renewable energy sources.
