As part of the BiH SuTra project, seven regions have been selected as pilot areas: Banovići, Breza, Gacko, Gradiška, Kakanj, Ugljevik and Živinice. This page gathers information, news and updates about the Municipality of Kakanj and its process of developing transition plans.
During the first stage of the project, every BiH SuTra project community holds an inclusive workshops where participants can openly share perspectives and co-create a long-term vision for their communities.
The “Vision 2050” workshop in Kakanj took place on 20 October 2025 and it brought together a diverse group of participants eager to shape a sustainable future for their municipality. Read more about the visioning event here.
The first consultation meeting took place on 1 April 2026 in Kakanj, bringing together representatives from public, private, academic and non-governmental sectors to discuss sustainable development priorities for the municipality. During the consultation, experts presented measures, goals and timelines for each pathway: decarbonization, circular economy, pollution reduction, sustainable agriculture and nature and biodiversity protection. These pathways provide a foundation for planning actions in the short term (three years), medium term (until 2035) and long term (up to 2050).
