This profile, prepared in the course of START technical assistance, outlines regional characteristics. Sardinia is the second-largest island in the Mediterranean and one of the twenty regions of Italy, with a population of approximately 1.6 million inhabitants. Sulcis Iglesiente is one of the eight provinces of Sardinia, located in the south of the region with around 330 thousand citizens. The province hosts the last remaining coal mine in Italy, the mine of Monte Sinni which has been in the decommissioning phase since 2018. This area is particularly vulnerable to the transition for several reasons.
