Organiser: Ministry of Economy and Environment of Ukraine and partners
Format: in-person
At COP31, Ukraine presents itself not only as a country facing the environmental consequences of Russia’s war, but as a country already developing and implementing practical solutions for recovery, resilience and climate action.
The central idea of this year’s pavilion is “Ukraine is the solution.” The pavilion shows how Ukraine is restoring ecosystems, strengthening energy resilience, adapting to climate challenges and building a greener future even under the conditions of the full-scale invasion.
