EcoPolitics has prepared an agenda meeting for its readers.

Members of the Eco Committee and MEPs will discuss:

  • current job regarding the support of the European Green Course and the green transition in Ukraine;
  • the state of the environment of Ukraine during the war and its impact on the environment of Europe, solutions for the restoration of nature, as well as the disposal of dangerous objects;
  • approximation of Ukrainian legislation to EU legislation on environmental protection, achievements and challenges.

The webcast of the meeting will take place on the website of the European Parliament at link.

Earlier, EcoPolitic wrote, that professionals from the Association of Environmental Professionals (PAEW) and more than 200 experts discussed the failure of the Department of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources to fix the environmental control crisis as part of reforming its system.

Previously, EcoPolitic analyzed how the corruption component in Ukraine in the field of environmental protection and nature management has changed against the background of a full-scale war and fulfilment of European integration requirements.
