Green groups and their role in the parliaments green agenda

25 June 2022

June 2022

Once considered radical outsiders, the Greens are nowadays claiming an increasingly important role in mainstream politics, particularly in Europe.

Coupled with the urgency of climate change and the loss of support for traditional viewpoints, the Greens worldwide
have moved from single-issue environmental groups to inclusive political groups capable of developing and monitoring policies for key state institutions.

Thus, more and more people are supporting green policies, but who are the Greens, and what do they represent
in today’s politics? This Policy Brief aims to explain what the purpose of these green groups is and their role in the parliament's green agenda.

THIRD MONITORING REPORT: ENERGY STRATEGY OF THE REPUBLIC OF KOSOVO 2022-2031 (Period 2024)

The Energy Strategy of the Republic of Kosovo was approved by the Assembly of Kosovo on March 8, 2023.

This Strategy aims to address current challenges and lay the foundations for a future energy sector that will provide security of supply, clean energy, energy efficiency and active citizen participation. The strategy includes the integration of the electricity system of Kosovo in the regional and pan-European market, with special emphasis on the use of renewable energy sources (RE) and close cooperation with the Republic of Albania.
The Republic of Kosovo is at a key point in the development of its energy sector, guided by the Kosovo Energy Strategy 2022-2031. This strategy serves as a framework towards a sustainable, efficient and reliable energy system that supports the country's economic growth and improves the well-being of its citizens. In this context, PIPS monitors the implementation of the Energy Strategy, and this report is the third in a row. The monitoring report serves as another tool, becoming a comprehensive overview of their progress towards the strategy for the year 2024 (including the year 2023). The report aims to assess the distinct and common challenges throughout the years of implementation of the strategy.
