The Russian aggression in Ukraine severely affects the environment, as well as leads to the formation of war waste. How much of this waste is there, and what to do with it? These questions will guide the discussion during the partner event taking place within the EU Green Week 2025. During the event by the Ministry of Environment of Ukraine, EEB and Society and Environment speakers will discuss the importance of addressing the problem of war waste formation at the political, scientific, infrastructure and financial levels, and demonstrate the role of EU circularity policies to address the challenges in Ukraine related to the war.

The EU-Ukraine bilateral meeting on screening under the Chapter 27 “Environment and climate change” will take place in two weeks (June 16-20).

Can the agricultural sector be not only a source of emissions, but also a solution to the climate crisis? How to ensure the country's food security while reducing the carbon footprint? Where to find funds for the "green" transition in the post-war recovery?

In the Eastern Partnership (EaP) region, achieving environmental and climate resilience remains a challenge, further exacerbated by Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, whose consequences are impacting the whole region. The war caused enormous damage to the nature, polluted the air, water and soil, and led to increased greenhouse gas emissions. The war also influenced many aspects of ongoing reforms in the EaP countries, caused a slow down in the energy transition, and a further decline of environmental and climate priorities. The event by the Eastern Partnership Civil Society Forum will focus on the main environment and security challenges in the EaP countries and highlights the extent to which energy and climate change challenges impact environmental security in the region.

Timber construction is an important factor in sustainable urban development. Using wood as a building material helps reduce the carbon footprint, increase energy efficiency, and conserve natural resources. In the Netherlands, for example, the conditions for large-scale timber construction have already been created, while in Ukraine, the sector is just starting to develop, although timber as a resource is widely available in Ukraine. In the lecture by Ro3kvit, speakers will look at how timber construction can become a driver of sustainable development and what steps are needed to scale it up in Ukraine.
