| Title | Challenges for climate policy implementation in Serbia: obligations of the Energy sector to comply with the Paris Agreement |
| Summary | The Paris Agreement was signed by 196 contracting parties to combat climate change challenges. One of the Paris Agreement’s goals is to decrease GHG emissions. Serbia signed the Paris Agreement promising to lower GHG emissions, mostly coming from the energy sector. Serbia increased efforts to combat climate change challenges partly through policy preparation and implementation. However, Serbia needs to improve this ambition since vast policies wait for implementation while the energy sector increases GHG emissions. Hence, this research aims to understand and identify the main policy implementation challenges Serbia has to meet in order to combat its climate mitigation obligations regarding the energy sector under the Paris Agreement. In order to reach the mentioned research’s aim, the main political, economic, and social barriers and opportunities are analyzed in this study. Thus, main documents (policies, strategies, and reports) were analyzed, and 15 interviews with the experts were conducted to comprehensively outline current challenges in Serbia for the energy sector to comply with the Paris Agreement. This study offers an overview of a current political, economic and social system that supports or stands in the way of decarbonizing the energy sector in Serbia and gives recommendations for future research and the ones to solve the main barriers. |
