Ana Bojchevska Mitrevska, speaking in Panel 3: "When women can’t move freely, their right to the city is limited. Safety is the freedom to move and belong" #GRBGoingGlocal #ClosingTheGap #GRB #GBWN #InvestInEquality #SustainableFutures #GRBGoingGlocal #GRBForumSkopje

Our World Cafe session brought lively exchanges on GRB implementation, climate financing, accountability, and inclusive budgeting. A great atmosphere with thoughtful insights from everyone involved. #GRBGoingGlocal #GRB #InvestInEquality #BudgetForAll

“When women are left out, climate action slows,” Zorana Antonijevic notes. Green loans must be gender-inclusive to work for everyone. #GRBGoingGlocal

“More diversity means better investment decisions and higher financial results. Yet, start-ups co-founded by women still raise only 10% of VC funding in Europe, and just 15% of VC firm general partners are women.” —Malgosia Walczak #GRBGoingGlocal

“Transforming mindsets is at the heart of a just green transition. Gender-equal climate finance opens STEM & green jobs for women and values care as core infrastructure.” —Tiffany Sprague, in Panel 2: Multilevel Approaches to GRB & Climate Financing. #GRBGoingGlocal

After a short break, we’re back with Panel 2: Multilevel Approaches to GRB & Climate Financing. Stay tuned to hear what our panelists have to say! #ClosingTheGap #GRB #GBWN #InvestInEquality #SustainableFutures #GRBGoingGlocal #GRBForumSkopje #BudgetForAll

As the Western Balkans advance on their EU path, GRB must go beyond legal compliance to drive real change, strengthening transparency, accountability, and resilience.” —Ermira Lubani, in Panel 1 on CSO watchdog role & GRB implementation. #GRBGoingGlocal

“Neither Albania nor the Western Balkans can achieve gender equality with underfunded policies. Credible gender budgets mean financing the rights we claim to uphold.” — Mirela Arqimandriti, in Panel 1 on CSO watchdog role & GRB implementation.
