❗️Director of the Center for Climate Change at UDG, Ivana Vojinović, was a panelist at the NATO Parliamentary Assembly within the 105th Rose-Roth Seminar held in Sarajevo. She spoke on the topic “Climate Change and its Impact on the Western Balkan States in the Context of Security and Safety.”
❗️The Western Balkans is among the most vulnerable regions in Europe to climate change, thus all Western Balkan states must work together to mitigate its impacts and adapt the region to a greener future.
During the panel focusing on climate change in the context of stability and security, alongside Ivana Vojinović, Lejla Šuman, Director of REC BiH, and Goran Svilanović, an international consultant, exchanged views on climate resilience, proactive engagement in policy, and sharing best practices. These are challenges that require long-term strategic thinking and action.
The seminar was organized in cooperation with the NATO Parliamentary Assembly’s Committee on Defense and Security and the Parliamentary Assembly of Bosnia and Herzegovina, receiving financial support from the Swiss Federal Department of Defense and non-financial support from the Geneva Centre for Security Sector Governance (DCAF).
The event gathered 51 parliamentarians from 10 NATO allies and 6 parliamentary partners in the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, as well as leaders from the Government of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Parliament, regional and international experts, and representatives from local embassies.
