At a glance

The climate crisis now creates a powerful footprint, which expands and deepens as economies grow unevenly geographically and socially. The three axes of the Green Economy, as it is shaped by private and public investments are reducing carbon emissions, boosting employment and social inclusion.

At the conference we will explore – through fruitful discussions and dialogue – the goals, directions and motivations that define the Green Economy in our country, the milestones that have been achieved and the next steps that will determine the sustainability of our development.
How natural and energy resource sufficiency is ensured through government and private sector initiatives, how infrastructure and construction contribute to a circular low-carbon economy, and how all these initiatives are funded by EU structural funds, national and private resources.
