Perspectives SEE - Still stuck in the past: How addressing Energy and Climate Change can advance development #5
In 2004 UNDP published a report entitled Stuck in the Past - Energy, Environment and Poverty in Serbia and Montenegro. The study demonstrated how Serbia and Montenegro were still ‘stuck in the past’ in terms of their ability to manage energy needs in a way that will serve their developmental needs. Their economies were based on low-energy efficiency, high-energy intensity, high external, namely environmental and health-related, costs of energy generation and were out of tune with the time, generating poverty and hindering economic development. These findings were and still are very applicable to the entire South East European region. Now, more than a decade later, there are still no public policies in sight which would address these issues in the long run.
