How Greening the Economy can Foster Inclusivity and Boost Income and Employment Opportunities
As a society, we are experiencing unprecedented change in the way we work and live, with technological advancements and globalization transforming the nature of work and the labor market. At the same time, climate change poses an urgent threat to our planet, requiring a transition to a green economy that is inclusive. RECONOMY has been supporting the Eastern Partnership and the Western Balkan regions since 2020, to make this transition a reality.
Renewable energy and energy efficiency have become increasingly significant components of the inclusive green economy worldwide. Countries of the Eastern Partnership region do have considerable renewable energy potential. However, they face significant challenges to make their energy sectors sustainable and create more economic opportunities. RECONOMY has helped to address these challenges in Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia in the quest for a green economy that is inclusive and sustainable.
Another way to foster an inclusive green economy has been through effective waste management. Municipal waste is growing in the Western Balkans. Improper waste management leads to environmental pollution. The Western Balkans are still heavily relying on land-filling. There has been little progress in recycling, and significant amounts of waste are dumped illegally. In order to achieve an effective waste management system, several obstacles need to be overcome. RECONOMY piloted an intervention in North Macedonia to improve waste management by increasing the role of non-formal waste collectors.
