This week marked a significant stride towards a sustainable and greener future for Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). SEI, in collaboration with the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Relations of Bosnia and Herzegovina (MOFTER), the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) and four local self-government units—Banovići, Breza, Ugljevik and Živinice—initiated the Sustainable Transition of Bosnia and Herzegovina programme (BiH SuTra).
BiH SuTra fosters a grassroots approach to develop transition plans in coal regions throughout the country. The main goal of the programme is to support BiH in its just transition towards a decarbonized and environmentally sustainable future, while aligning with other development priorities. It aims to empower stakeholders in identifying and implementing strategies to reduce emissions, promote innovative technologies and practices, and craft ambitious yet attainable policies.
The ceremonial signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between local governments and SEI marks a crucial milestone for Bosnia and Herzegovina’s coal regions, signifying a commitment to transitioning away from coal. This launch event was a highlight of Sarajevo Energy & Climate Week, which gathered key actors from BiH, the Western Balkan region and beyond.
