Albania, Armenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, Kosovo*, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Moldova, Serbia, Türkiye and Ukraine
This report describes the bioeconomy policy developments in Albania, Armenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, Kosovo*, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Moldova, Serbia, Türkiye and Ukraine, associated to the Horizon Europe Framework Programme.
The work extends the geographic coverage of the existing Bioeconomy Country dashboard developed by the European Commission Knowledge Centre for Bioeconomy at the Joint Research Centre. The dashboard provides comprehensive data and knowledge on the presence of national strategies, national institutions and initiatives related to bioeconomy.
The study shows that there is a growing interest and potential for national bioeconomy strategies in these countries. Six out of eleven countries already have policies in place related to circular economy, while all eleven countries have other policy documents addressing various aspects of the bioeconomy. All countries engage in macro-regional initiatives and businesses and non-governmental organisations actively contribute to advancing bioeconomy projects. Key recommendations include expanding macro-regional initiatives to support bioeconomy strategy development and increasing awareness of the bioeconomy concept to foster stakeholder engagement.
As the 2018 European Union bioeconomy strategy is being reviewed, this study will be in support of the new strategy supporting a sustainable and resilient European bioeconomy.
Throughout this document, an asterisk (*) is used alongside "Kosovo" to signify that the term is used without taking a stance on its status, in line with UN guidelines.
