Belgrade was the 8th city to join the EBRD’s Green Cities network in 2018. As an EBRD Green City, the capital of Serbia has agreed to strive towards building a better and more sustainable future for its residents.

On June 9, an important step in this regard was achieved: the City Assembly adopted the final Green City Action Plan (GCAP) and Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plan (SECAP).

“We are smartly developing a capital for all citizens and especially children, pursuing the ideals of an even greener, healthier, and more sustainable future.”

Under this vision, developed by the city together with a wide range of stakeholder groups and interested citizens, Belgrade established a roadmap for maximising economic, environmental, and social co-benefits.

In the GCAP and SECAP, a series of 16 strategic objectives have been set out to tackle the environmental challenges identified and meet the city’s green vision. These are arranged in three core sectors: Urban Planning and Mobility; Energy and Efficiency; and Water and Waste.
