Green and Digital Transformations, and Promoting Equality
Sustainable development, driven by green and digital transformations, is gaining attention in the CEF learning and knowledge sharing program. Green public finance management fosters a cohesive government approach to tackling climate change, while digitalization enhances efficiency, transparency, and accuracy across systems.
Public leaders and policymakers play a vital role in driving these transformations. They must adopt new mindsets, invest in green and digital skills, and create an enabling environment for systemic change—aligned with institutional mandates and in collaboration with stakeholders.
We help institutions embrace the green agenda and digitalization not just as regulatory or technological upgrades but as transformative processes. By understanding their strategic implications, public officials can make informed decisions, advocate for concrete actions, and drive meaningful change. Our target institutions also contribute to a more equitable society by removing systemic barriers and implementing policies that ensure equal opportunities for all.

2025 Highlights
In 2025, we aim to enhance public officials' skills in sustainable finance, climate risk management, and green taxation, while also fostering coordination, networking, and advocacy skills. The program supports dialogue among stakeholders to integrate climate change into public policies.
We will also offer learning opportunities for public officials to embrace digital tools, understand their strategic implementation, and navigate online environments. Our program will also cover data management, AI applications, and cyber risk awareness, promoting AI literacy and effective use of AI tools in the public sector.
Additionally, we will collaborate with CEF partners to host events that address gender mainstreaming in tax policy and administration and in budget preparation process. Through various program activities, we promote awareness of inequalities—such as gender disparities—their causes and impacts, and encourage the exchange of best practices to address them.
