Abstract
Serbia is transitioning to an environmentally sustainable, low-carbon, climate-resilient economy, but the transition must be accelerated in view of climate change and increasing air pollution. Serbia has Europe’s worst per capita record for pollution-related deaths, and the environmental performance Index shows that Serbia has a score for environmental health and ecosystem vitality below that of most of the Western Balkans six countries and similar European economies in transition. The problem has several origins, notably excessive reliance on fossil fuels, particularly coal, for electricity generation and heating; outdated, high-emission vehicles, many of which are imported from other European countries; and the declining popularity of public transportation. This report analyzes the enabling environment for decarbonization and electrification of the transportation sector; makes recommendations for establishing an efficient, sustainable E-Mobility market; and identifies steps to do so.
