Croatia commits to implement measures from its 2015-2017 Green Public Procurement (GPP) Action Plan. Croatia further commits to a new GPP Action Plan for the period of 2017-2020. The National Committee for Green Public Procurement, with 22 members from national and local stakeholder groups, has been established to coordinate and follow up the Action Plan. It is expected that the new action plan will be adopted by the beginning of 2017.
The commitment is expected to increase the use of green products and services in public procurement as well as in the development of green economy. The success of this commitment will be measured by the number of public procurement contracts using green criteria.
This commitment falls under focus area 4 to shift consumer behaviours towards sustainable consumption patterns.
Implementing partners include Ministry of Environmental and Nature Protection, Ministry of Economy, State Office for Central Public Procurement and the National Committee for GPP.
The commitment is relevant to SDG 12.7.
