Study on Achievements and Perspectives towards a Green Economy and Sustainable Growth in Servia was prepared with the broad participatory involvement of relevant stakeholders at national and international level. The report identifies the following as strategic directions for the development of a green economy in Serbia:
- Harmonizing socio-economic development with the European Union's Resource-Efficient and Low-Carbon Policies,
- Advancing Social Inclusion and Poverty Reduction,
- Empowering the environment sector (including promoting investment into infrastructure that supports all aspects of sustainable development, from socially sensible job creation to environmental protection, support the strengthening of expert capacities, etc.),
- Establishing a long-term institutional and financial framework in support of Sustainable Development,
- Promoting sub-regional cooperation.
This study was prepared to support the Government of Serbia in its preparations for the Rio+20 United Nations Conference on Sustainable development, which was held in Brazil in June 2012. It is based predominantly on documents already adopted by the Parliament and Government of Serbia but it is not an official document of the Republic of Serbia.
