Discussion: Ukraine’s Nature-positive and Climate-neutral Recovery

Startseite > Veranstaltungen > Discussion: Ukraine’s Nature-positive and Climate-neutral Recovery

In the next months and years, the Ukrainian government and authorities, foreign donors, financial institutions and the private sector will determine how billions of euros are invested for Ukraine’s post-war reconstruction. Those decisions must be made with an eye to the future – climate- and nature-positive and with solid governance principles. This implies transparent and inclusive decision-making.

The results of the discussion will inform the upcoming Ukraine Recovery Conferences on June 21-22 in London.
