Kosovo's Fight for Sustainable Energy Access: Where is American Aid Going?

With sup­port from the World Bank and US Gov­ern­ment, the Koso­var Gov­ern­ment has already begun the ini­tial process of design­ing a new, inef­fi­cient coal power plant, Kosovo C, with air pol­lu­tion emis­sions up to twice as high as those allowed under both US and Chi­nese reg­u­la­tions. The Koso­var peo­ple and lead­ing envi­ron­men­tal orga­ni­za­tions are advo­cat­ing for increased energy effi­ciency and use of clean energy sources. In the US, we can help by hold­ing the US Gov­ern­ment and World Bank account­able to their com­mit­ment to stop financ­ing new coal projects overseas.

The event will be infor­ma­tive and action­able. This plant is not yet approved and the audi­ence can play a role in impact­ing its fate. Come be a part of the con­ver­sa­tion and the solution.
