GCAP Donor

EBRD Stakeholder Special Fund (SSF)

The city is under pressure due to factors such as ongoing growth in road transportation, which is linked to increasing fuel consumption and carbon emissions. By developing a GCAP, Sofia has mapped out a systematic approach to addressing these urban environmental challenges.

By prioritising investments and reforms, the GCAP lays the foundation for a long-term green and sustainable vision for the city.
