Description

To decarbonise an entire economy is not unlike the mammoth task above: it requires a definite starting point and a step-by-step approach to make seemingly insurmountable challenges manageable. It is for this reason that the EU has set its Member States’ targets on climate action for 2020, to be followed by targets for 2030 and 2050. This will be challenging enough for Member States, but what about for those states in the Western Balkans that will most likely join the challenge partway through the ‘meal’? Without serious preparations these countries will most certainly find it impossible to digest such a vast task, and it will cost the region’s and EU’s taxpayers enormous amounts of additional money to set them back on the right track, if indeed it can be done at all.
