This Agreement marks an important step in the implementation of a five-year initiative led by the authorities in Bosnia and Herzegovina with the support of UNDP, intending to establish a systemic approach and strengthen cooperation for the implementation of the green transition in our country, aligned with the EU's Green Agenda for the Western Balkans.
- UNDP is our important partner. Someone who gives us momentum on the way to the necessary reforms, especially when it comes to the green transition, and our adaptation both to the modern way of waste management and environmental protection, as well as to the very important segment of the sustainability of protected areas, which will certainly further boost our important tourist potentials and their sustainable development. According to the Federal Environmental Protection Strategy 2022-2032. years, the total area of protected areas in FBiH is insufficient concerning the extremely high values of nature. According to the Nature Protection Information System of the FBiH, four percent of the territory of the FBiH is currently protected, while the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 plans that at least 30 percent of terrestrial and 30 percent of aquatic ecosystems should be protected, so these projects pave the way for the necessary improvement in this are said
