With its new Transition Plan, the community of Ugljevik in Bosnia and Herzegovina are stepping away from coal and embracing a greener, more resilient future. To do so, municipality representatives travelled to Sweden to discover innovations and solutions for sustainable energy systems, circular waste management and urban planning.
Aleksandar Krstiฤ, Head of the Civil Protection Department of the Municipality of Ugljevik was taken by surprise how sustainability was manifested in Sweden: ๐ผ โ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐๐ก๐๐๐๐ ๐กโ๐๐ก ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ก๐๐ข๐๐ฆ ๐ฃ๐๐๐ข๐ ๐กโ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ฃ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ก โ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ , ๐๐ข๐๐๐๐ก๐ฆ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐, ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐กโ๐ ๐๐ข๐ก๐ข๐๐. ๐โ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ก๐๐๐๐ก ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ก๐ฆ ๐กโ๐๐ฆ ๐ โ๐๐ค ๐ก๐๐ค๐๐๐ ๐กโ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ก๐ฆ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ข๐๐ก๐๐ฆ ๐ ๐๐ก ๐๐ ๐๐ฅ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ค๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ก๐ก๐๐ ๐๐๐ฃ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ก ๐๐ ๐๐ข๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ข๐๐๐ก๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ โ๐๐๐.“
The capacity building and sharing doesnโt stop here. Going home to Ugljevik, more trainings on topics such as sustainable agriculture and de-pollution are underway, all steps to facilitate the communityโs transition away from coal. With support from SEI – Stockholm Environment Institute through BiH SuTra , Ugljevik is ready to become a model of a just and green transition in BiH.
