 abstract={The article presents the results of research conducted as part of the ENTRANCES project (financed by the Horizon 2020 program), which focused on the analysis of sociological conditions in the transformation process involving the abandonment of coal production. The Polish research area in this project was the Silesian region. The research concerned the problems that will inevitably affect the region’s community as the transformation towards the abandonment of coal becomes increasingly profound. The article identifies the main challenges facing this region in the context of adaptation to profound changes resulting from the liquidation of basic jobs in the region, which are coal mines. Moreover, the authors of the article propose strategies that can be used to effectively deal with these challenges. These strategy proposals include both actions at the public policy level and initiatives undertaken by the private sector and the local community. The research method used included a broad analysis of many dimensions to which the region’s society is subjected in transitional conditions within five components: socio-cultural, socio-psychological, socio-political, socio-economic, and socio-ecological-technical. The identified challenges and developed applicable strategies summarize this broad research. The obtained results allow for a deeper understanding of social processes during the energy transformation in coal regions, as well as the formulation of practical solutions for the Silesian region and other similar areas.},
