The aim of UNDP BiH’s environment portfolio is to support the Government of BiH in
overcoming its challenges in achieving sustainable environmental development, by
building national capacity. 3 Sustainable energy systems and sound environment management
play a central role in reducing poverty and contribute to the achievement of
the MDGs. In addition to supporting biodiversity initiatives, UNDP in BiH promotes sustainable
and efficient energy use and assists the government in implementing the
UNFCCC.”

UNDP supports the energy efficiency project, whose overall objective is to mainstream low cost sustainable energy issues into reconstruction
and recovery efforts in rural areas in BiH, thereby reducing the operational costs and increasing the comfort level of the buildings,
while at the same time mitigating the emissions of greenhouse gases. The project consists of a training component, a demonstration
component and a feasibility study regarding the use of Biomass fired boilers in rural households or for rural productive uses in BiH.
