The EEB, in cooperation with the Roma Entrepreneurship Development Initiative (REDI) and Umweltdachverband and funded by the Austrian Federal Ministry of Social Affairs, Health, Care and Consumer Protection, will host this conference to better understand the role that the informal recycling sector plays in waste management and the circular economy in Balkan cities. In particular, we will be exploring the work of so-called “Roma green agents” in North Macedonia, who provide an environmental service to the municipality yet formally recognised. We will also use the event to provide a new narrative that recognises the service that these green agents provide.
