Just Transition Roadmap for Kosovo's coal region
2025 · Kosovo — Obiliq and the coal region · Climate policy and regional transition
Contract held by: Shend Boshnjaku, under a service contract with the commissioning foundation
Context
- Client type
- Balkan Green Foundation (BGF)
- Role
- Lead author — baseline assessment and roadmap development
- Geography
- Kosovo — Obiliq and the coal region
- Sector
- Climate policy and regional transition
Deliverables were completed and submitted. We make no claim that the roadmap has been formally published or adopted — that is a separate step and is not evidenced here, so its findings are not reproduced.
Problem
A coal region needed a phase-out pathway that was economically and socially survivable, not only technically modelled — including what happens to employment and municipal revenue.
Work performed
- Phase-out scenario modelling
- Macroeconomic impact analysis — employment, GDP, regional dependency
- Carbon-pricing sensitivity and stranded-asset risk assessment
- Municipal GHG inventory and LEAP energy model
Output
Baseline assessment and a 2025–2035 roadmap delivered to the commissioning organisation, with the supporting inventory and energy model.
