Balkan Green Foundation hosted a panel discussion on the National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP). The discussion addressed policies and measures across five key dimensions: 1) decarbonization, 2) energy efficiency, 3) energy security, 4) the internal energy market, and 5) research, innovation, and competitiveness.
The meeting assessed the impact of the planned measures alongside existing policies and identified the next steps toward finalizing the document, including preliminary, public, and cross-border consultations.
The document is in its final stage and will soon be open for public consultation before being approved by the government and submitted to the Energy Community Secretariat.
The project aims to focus on the challenges faced by Kosovo in dealing with the impacts of climate change, by accelerating the decarbonization process in sectors related to security and regional stability. The project aims to provide a comprehensive approach both in drafting policies relevant to the decarbonization process and in providing discussion platforms on how this process will positively affect the reduction of the impact of climate change in Kosovo.
General goal is to reduce the impact of climate change, especially in key sectors related to security and stability across the region, through the decarbonization process.
The specific objectives are to support government institutions in drafting sectoral policies in accordance with EU standards; provide inclusive platforms for discussion among key actors in order to influence environmental and climate policies and to raise citizens’ awareness of the impact of climate change on regional security and stability.
