PROJECT DESCRIPTION (DE)
Initial situation
The countries of the Western Balkans are already severely affected by climate change with increasing extreme weather events and long-term climate change. The consequences of rising temperatures and less precipitation are enormously challenging for society and the economy and will increase significantly in the coming decades. The region urgently needs to adapt to the changed climatic conditions in order to avoid and reduce climate-related damage and losses. However, a lack of regional cooperation and knowledge exchange is making adaptation efforts more difficult.
This is where the Green Agenda for the Western Balkans comes in. With it, the countries of the region decided in 2020 to work towards greater sustainability and to move closer to corresponding EU standards. To this end, they are implementing measures that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, strengthen climate adaptation and protect the environment.
Goal
The countries of the Western Balkans implement climate adaptation measures in accordance with the Green Agenda more efficiently and effectively.
Approach
