Today, alongside the Government of Montenegro, we co-hosted the #COP29 side event, "Transition in the Western Balkans: Empowering SMEs for a Net-Zero Economy." With 99% of businesses in the region being small and medium-sized enterprises (#SMEs) and employing 75% of the workforce, their role in climate action is crucial. Together with distinguished panelists, we explored the essential role of small and medium-sized enterprises in driving sustainable growth across the Western Balkan region. 📹 Catch the highlights from the discussion👇 The journey to a net-zero economy starts with empowering SMEs to adapt, innovate, and thrive. We are excited to deepen partnerships and take bold steps toward a #sustainable future.
