With the adoption of the Green Agenda for the Western Balkans in 2020 Western Balkan countries created a blueprint for the transition from a traditional economic model to a net zero economy in line with the European Green Deal. The associated action plan envisions the adoption of the National Energy and Climate Plans that prescribe decarbonisation targets and plans to reach those targets through energy efficiency, renewables, GHG emission reductions, interconnections, and R&D.

The Summit will open with a high-level discussion about the pathways and enablers of the net zero transition in the Western Balkans and explore different dynamics and challenges of decarbonisation across countries and sectors.
