About Us

The Platform for Action on the Green Recovery of Ukraine serves as a high-level international initiative bringing together the Ukrainian government, international organizations, and development partners. It was established with the support of UNEP, OECD, UNECE, and the German Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety, and Consumer Protection. The Platform will play a crucial role in ensuring a coordinated and systematic approach to Ukraine’s green recovery.

Values

    Sustainability: Prioritizing long-term environmental and economic resilience.
    Collaboration: Bringing together national and international stakeholders for coordinated action.
    Transparency: Ensuring open decision-making processes and accountability.
    Innovation: Encouraging research and technological advancements for green solutions.
    Inclusivity: Engaging all sectors of society, including local communities, civil society, and businesses, in shaping a sustainable future for Ukraine.

Mission

The Platform for Action on the Green Recovery of Ukraine aims to provide a forum for Ukrainian and international partners to:

    Define the meaning of green recovery for Ukraine, considering its status as an EU accession candidate.
    Support actions to prioritize and accelerate reforms in policies, legislation, institutions, and practices to enable a whole-of-government approach to green post-war recovery and reconstruction.
    Facilitate the development of financial reforms and instruments that support the implementation of the Green Recovery Strategy.
    Mobilize expertise and financial resources to promote a science-based, systematic, and coordinated green recovery, setting Ukraine on a climate-resilient and net-zero development path.
    Identify challenges and opportunities for improving the efficiency and effectiveness of international support, ensuring synergy with existing assistance frameworks.

Background

Since the Russian Federation’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, the country has suffered severe environmental destruction. Industrial and infrastructure attacks have led to air, water, and soil pollution, overburdened waste management systems, and destruction of forests and agricultural lands.
While Ukraine’s government is focused on immediate recovery, there is a pressing need to emphasize a green, sustainable approach to long-term reconstruction. The Platform seeks to provide the necessary coordination and policy framework to ensure a scientifically grounded and economically viable green recovery.
