Green Economy and the BSEC Region
Black Sea Trade and Investment Promotion Programme
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are the backbone of the EU and
of most of the BSEC Member States economies
Green entrepreneurship is at the frontline of the green economy and crucial for
poverty reduction and local development
Financial, trade and investment actors can be key drivers for the transition to
a green economy in the Black Sea
International environmental agreements facilitate the transition to a green
economy and initiate reforms of the regulatory framework
More hands-on regional green economy and climate change adaptation and
mitigation initiatives are needed
