REPUBLIC OF SERBIA Ministry of Agriculture and Environmental Protection Empowered lives. Resilient nations. United Nations Development Programme ENVIRONMENT AND ENERGY SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORT AND GHG EMISSIONS IN BELGRADE FINAL REPORT SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORT AND GHG EMISSIONS IN BELGRADE October, 2014 This report has been prepared under the GEF-UNDP project “Support to Sustainable Transport in the City of Belgrade”, with the technical support of the United Nations Development Programme and financial support by Global Environment Facility. Project team: Miroslav Tadic, Aleksandar Jovanovic and Snezana Ostojic-Paunovic. The overall objective of the project is to reduce the metropolitan emissions in the City of Belgrade by improving the public transport scheme, reinforce the participation of cyclists in the traffic and provide the policy framework for sustainable urban transport development of the city of Belgrade. The project was implemented in partnership with the Ministry of Agriculture and Environmental Protection and the City of Belgrade, through its Land Development Agency and Secretariat for Transport. The author of the report is Elena Gavrilova.
