It is my honor and pleasure that we signed this MoU, which confirms our long-standing cooperation and committing us to work together in the future. There are a number of projects on which we worked together, to mention few, URBANLED, NAP, CBIT and GED. Most of them are related to the mitigation and adaptation to climate change, which is the biggest challenge of our time. Bearing in mind the visibly deteriorated quality of the environment, and the fact that climate change is very much felt, even in small areas like ours, we will certainly have to do more and act differently in the time ahead. The cooperation of domestic and international institutions is very important in this action. Since the beginning of its operational work, the Fund has positioned itself not only as a financial institution, but also as an expert institution of the FBiH Government, in all areas of environmental protection and energy efficiency. UNDP's significant support in this process has made it possible to both establish and improve the legislative framework and ensure the involvement of all important participants in quality projects. I thank UNDP, which through a series of projects recognized the institutional role and capacities of the Fund, both in financing and implementing projects, as well as in the new agency’s role of collecting and processing data on the environment and energy efficiency.
