Despite progress, the construction sector in Ukraine and worldwide remains one of the least inclusive industries. Join the webinar by ReThink to discuss how the construction sector in Ukraine can become a pathway for veteran support and social reintegration, how to navigate and overcome systemic barriers in the industry — and how to transform these challenges into change.

CSRD, CSDDD, ESG — these acronyms are rapidly becoming part of the everyday vocabulary of Ukrainian agribusinesses and advisory services. In fact, there is nothing radically new about them — they reflect the principles of sustainable development that EU countries have long acknowledged and embedded into policy. However, in Ukraine, despite over two decades of promoting the UN Sustainable Development Goals and awareness-raising efforts, real understanding only began to take root when sustainability reporting became a formal requirement within the EU integration process. Join the event by Green Dossier to find out more.

In July 2025, Ukraine will start the bilateral screening process with the European Union on its state of play on implementing Chapter 15, energy.

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.

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.

In February, a decision was reached at the expert level on the seventh review of the IMF programme, although Ukraine delayed the implementation of one structural benchmark and did not implement another at all. Join the new presentation of the Monitoring of IMF and EU assistance under the Ukraine Facility by RRR4U Consortium of Ukrainian NGOs, where experts will tell you more about the progress in fulfilling Ukraine’s obligations to key international donors, as well as the risks of delays.
