Sustainable development goals represent a global plan aimed at ending extreme poverty, reducing global inequality, and promoting planet protection by 2030. They are focused on development that meets current needs without jeopardizing the needs of future generations, encompassing political, economic, ecological, and cultural sustainability.
Through various programs, BFPE contributes to better information, changing awareness, and involving public figures, researchers, business representatives, as well as citizens in public debates on energy efficiency, renewable energy sources, just energy transition, green economy, ensuring citizen participation in the fight against climate change, and promoting much better cooperation among all actors involved in creating and implementing more responsible and comprehensive sustainable development policies.
Additionally, by following and participating, to the extent possible, in the creation of public policies, BFPE itself influences the design, creation, and implementation of various public policies. The importance of acquiring new knowledge and raising awareness among decision-makers, their willingness to dedicate themselves to work on these issues, and enabling local communities to actively participate and become partners in these processes contribute to creating synergies and sustainable decentralized and democratic development.
“No one left behind” is the guiding idea when we talk about building a sustainable society and, consequently, sustainable democracy.
