This Green Growth Country Assessment for FYR Macedonia defines a green growth path to 2050, focusing on climate action. While addressing today's economic challenges, policymakers need to keep the long-term in mind, both the likely impact of a changing climate on water, agriculture, and infrastructure and growing obligations to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, especially from energy and transport. These considerations are particularly important for decisions on long-lived infrastructure such as power supply, irrigation, or urban streets, water distribution, and sewers. Carefully-chosen public investments and policies can ease the path to a more resilient and climate-friendly economy without sacrificing long-term growth. The comprehensive analysis from the innovative sectoral modeling and macroeconomic assessment in this report should give confidence to policymakers considering green investments and policies.
