| Task force looks
into investment
The importance of environmental investments was highlighted
during an extraordinary REReP Task Force meeting on June 23. Participants
from all SEE countries discussed successful projects and identified challenges.
They stressed the importance of national-level environmental financing
systems and sought ways to encourage a bottom-up approach to identify
projects with local commitment. The importance of cooperation between
environment and finance ministries was noted. “A long-term perspective
is essential when planning for infrastructure projects, and this was the
major purpose of the extraordinary REReP meeting,” said the REC’s
environmental financing expert Joanna Fiedler.
