I. Energy and environmental transition policies and financial support mechanisms

Due to our more than 15 years of experience in the development of policies related to energy and environment in BIH and the region, Plus Minus provide support to governments in BIH and local authorities in the development, adoption and implementation of energy and environmental policies (laws, by-laws, rulebooks, mechanisms supporting social impacts and vulnerable groups of stakeholders in the transition process, financial mechanisms supporting the transition process on various government levels – from local government units, cantons to entities and state level), contributing to the reduction of fossil fuels. We are coordinating, developing and managing/cooperating with various government levels and stakeholders/interest groups (NGOs, CSOs, academia), with the aim to develop realistic, sustainable and yet ambitious transition policies enabling further economic development, benefits to wide group of stakeholders and a just transition.

II. Clean energy systems / Increasing share of RES / Phasing out fossil fuels

Facing the challenges of environmental issues, climate change and insecurity and risks related to energy supply, CBAM (EU’s Cross Border Adjustment Mechanisms) – authorities, private and public sector companies are demanding businesses to go green. Plus Minus can provide you with a wide range of clean energy solutions and support your efforts towards a net-zero carbon transition. We offer technical and technological support (engineering) for identification and implementation of best clean energy solutions (renewable energy, energy efficiency, resource efficiency, energy management, vehicle fleet management, etc.), tailored for your business and energy demand. Moreover, we support authorities and business in the identification and absorption of financial streams for their clean energy investments.

III. Enabling just transition

The International Labour Organization (ILO) defines just transition as a process “towards an environmentally sustainable economy”, which “needs to be well managed and contribute to the goals of decent work for all, social inclusion and the eradication of poverty. Due to Plus Minus’ employee references and knowledge related to work in the area of energy and environment (dealing with various stakeholder groups), we are able to provide consulting services which ensure that benefits of a transition process are shared widely and do support and ensure livelihoods and economic benefit (for example in coal regions and municipalities) to those who stand to lose in such a process. This includes the analysis and evaluation of social considerations, risk identification, mitigation actions and identification and engagement of affected stakeholders.
