Description of the programme / policy
OECD has launched a new project Supporting Green Transition through Circular Economy Roadmaps in 2022, co-financed by the European Commission. The project aims to assist governments from the region in preparing and implementing circular economy roadmaps to accelerate their green economic recovery and growth, in line with the Green Agenda for the Western Balkans. A regional Circular Economy Peer Dialogue will be created under this project, which will facilitate regular knowledge exchange and peer learning.
Main objective of the programme/policy
For more than 20 years, the OECD has been assisting the Western Balkan economies in becoming more environmentally friendly through the greening work undertaken under Competitiveness Outlook and SME Policy Index assessments and the related meetings and peer exchanges. These assessments aim at supporting the Western Balkans’ public, private and civil society sectors in their green transition, particularly in the areas of climate change mitigation and adaptation, clean energy transition, resource efficiency, protection of ecosystems and depollution.
