Climate Bridges – Network in Action
The Western Balkans region is actively pursuing EU accession while developing climate action initiatives. Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, and North Macedonia are at different stages of EU membership negotiations, each facing challenges in climate policy development and implementation. These challenges primarily stem from limited administrative capacity and insufficient coordination between civil society organizations and governmental bodies.
The Climate Bridges project addresses a clear need for coordinated climate action in the region. Policy analysis reveals gaps in implementing the Green Agenda for Western Balkans (GAWB), characterized by uneven policy adoption and limited stakeholder engagement. The project responds by strengthening regional cooperation, enhancing governance structures, and fostering collaboration between civil society organizations, governmental bodies, and the private sector.
