Improperly disposed waste enters the groundwater, pollutes the soil, and thus negatively affects human health through various environmental mediums. Only when we realize that environmental pollution will have a negative effect on our health, then we will change our habits, Ivana Vojinović pointed out.

Climate change is a global problem and phenomenon, which requires a multilateral response, communication and coordination of all countries of the world, especially members of the United Nations, both developed and less developed and which need significant financial resources to prepare an adequate response to climate shocks and hazards, as well as climate episodes to come in the years and decades ahead.

Montenegro has not adopted the Strategy yet, that is, the National Plan for Adaptation to Climate Change. The issue of adaptation to climate change is not integrated into other sectoral policies.

The director of the UDG Center for Climate Change, Ivana Vojinovic, was a guest of “Budilnik” on TV E on the topic of the “Zero waste concept towards a climate-neutral Podgorica” project, which was supported by the capital.

There was also talk about Chapter 27 – environment and climate change, where a reminder was given that in the period 2021-2022. EC reports for Montenegro give Montenegro a rating of “limited compliance in Chapter 27”, which is not satisfactory for a country that, as recently as 2018, was the only one in the Western Balkans region that managed to meet the conditions for opening this complex chapter.
