#EUGreenWeek panellist: Dr. Sunita Pitamber, Associate Director for Gender Mainstreaming and Access to Services and Infrastructure Development @EBRD: The private sector has a key role to play in supporting the green economy transition.pic.twitter.com/W8UDegxtYz
#EUGreenWeek panellist Veronica Manfredi (@veromanfrve), @EU_ENV: We have wonderful minds coming to Europe and migrants should be included in education on the green and health nexus. Migrants should be part of the building back better.
#EUGreenWeek panellist: Dr. Sunita Pitamber
@EBRD: Migrants are an essential part of the economic recovery - investment must support affected groups. This is a priority for EBRD in their work on regional inclusion, digitalisation and renewable infrastructure.
#EUGreenWeek panellist: Dr. Sunita Pitamber
@EBRD: We need more research that can help policymaking on the relationship between air pollution, climate change and migration.
#EUGreenWeek panellist: Kaja Shukova (@MOEPPMKD): Urban migration is witnessed in cities like Skopje, Tetovo and Bitola but we have little information on the impacts of air pollution on migrants and their families, including women, children and the elderly, in these cities.
#EUGreenWeek panellist: Kaja Shukova (@MOEPPMKD): In 2019, North Macedonia received USD 317 million in remittances. However, remittance recipients only minimally invested in renewable energy solutions.
#EUGreenWeek panellist: Kaja Shukova (@MOEPPMKD): Financial regulations are major barriers for migrants and their families to access green loans.
#EUGreenWeek panellist Ola Henrikson @IOMatEU: Migration is seldom considered in clean air initiatives b/c there is a knowledge gap, fragmented institutional mandates, a lack of technical capacities among relevant institutions at different levels & limited financing on the nexus.
#EUGreenWeek panellist Veronica Manfredi (
@veromanfrve), @EU_ENV: We have a moral duty to continue driving a green agenda where migrants are part of the solution!
#EUGreenWeek panellist: Dr. Sunita Pitamber
@EBRD: Digitalisation, green economy, equality of opportunities is central to the EBRD investments.
#EUGreenWeek panellist: Kaja Shukova (@MOEPPMKD): I am sure that together with our European colleagues we can move quickly on our path to environmental sustainability & to provide a healthy environment that promotes the well-being of all those in North Macedonia and the diaspora.
#EUGreenWeek panellist: Ola Henrikson, @IOMatEU: #COVID19 has highlighted the key role of migrants in certain areas of employment, and what is clear is more data is needed to connect the dots.
#EUGreenWeek panellist: Ola Henrikson, @IOMatEU: We need to create a whole of government approach and include all actors and migrants. It has been a very useful exercise to map this. It is encouraging that in this discussion migrants are envisaged as a part of the solution.
