Rebuilding a Place to Call Home: Reaching Net Zero. International Symposium


Organisers: Kharkiv School of Architecture’s Centre for Land and Housing Research, Centre for Environmental Initiatives “Ecoaction”, Sustainable Urban Development Programme at Oxford University, UN-Habitat Urban Lab Ukraine, EU4ClimateResilience, CEE Bankwatch, Ukrainian Catholic University

Format: hybrid (in-person in Lviv and online)

The symposium aims to bring together leading experts and stakeholders to develop integrated, actionable strategies that address the complex challenges of Ukraine’s post-war reconstruction. It is a collaborative platform to exchange ideas, share best practices, and develop policy solutions for Ukraine’s recovery. Combining international expertise and local knowledge, it builds a knowledge base addressing immediate needs while laying foundations for a resilient and equitable future. Ongoing reports and academic publications ensure these insights inform policy and practice, advancing sustainable post-war development.

Each day features two parallel tracks, allowing participants to join one track per day:

Day 1:
- Policy, regulations, and reforms for net-zero Ukraine
- (Re)construction industry, technologies, and processes

Day 2:
- Land use and spatial planning
- Investment for net-zero transition

Each track includes a series of lectures, presentations, and moderated panels with diverse stakeholders. Detailed information about each track will be announced soon on the event page.

Offline (in-person) participation capacity is limited—participants are encouraged to choose their preferred track carefully.

The RaPCH symposium was initiated in 2022 by researchers including Dr. Julie Lawson, Dr. Edwin Buitelaar, Oleksandra Tkachenko, Oleksandr Anisimov, Pavlo Fedoriv, Vita Schnaider, and Galyna Sukhomyd with support from PBL Netherlands.
