D4.2: Comparative Report on Green Transition Governance Challenges.

This comparative report is the third deliverable of WP4—Measuring and assessing impacts and costs of a just green transition in the Western Balkans (WB) - of the GreenFORCE project. It has been jointly authored by the WB project partners and the EU project partners. Specifically, this comparative report focuses on the challenge of transition, which lies, inter alia, in the governance system, actors, and institutions that plan and manage it. The report builds upon the information from tasks 4.1-4.3 and on an in-depth desk review to analyse institutions and systems. The connection of green transition to the spatial planning systems and regional policies in the WB has been particularly interesting. While the WB partners deepened their research, the EU partners provided a comparative view based on their own experience. This task is bi-directionally linked with assessing the impacts/costs of green transition (task 4.3 and deliverable D4.5).
