Last week, we had the pleasure of hosting the workshop “Empowering Communities for Sustainable Energy Transitions – Leveraging the Skopje Climate Assembly’s Success for Regional Impact” at our Secretariat.
The event brought together experts, policymakers, and community leaders to discuss the crucial role of citizens’ assemblies and deliberative democracy in shaping sustainable energy policies. Through engaging discussions and insightful presentations, participants explored how public engagement can lead to impactful and lasting environmental solutions.
A key highlight of the workshop was the Skopje Climate Assembly, a pioneering initiative that exemplifies how participatory governance can drive real change. By showcasing its journey, challenges, and successes, the workshop provided valuable lessons on how similar models can be implemented across the region to accelerate the transition towards cleaner and more sustainable energy.
At the core of the discussions was a shared vision: empowering communities to take an active role in shaping policies that directly impact their future. Sustainable energy transitions require inclusive decision-making, and initiatives like the Skopje Climate Assembly demonstrate the power of collaboration between citizens and institutions.
We are excited to continue fostering regional dialogue and cooperation in this vital field. The exchange of best practices and innovative approaches will help pave the way for a more sustainable and climate-resilient future in the Western Balkans and beyond.
