The European Commission will host a four-day Green Recovery in Ukraine conference that will bring together policy and business segments from November 28 to December 1 in Vilnius, Lithuania.
The event is designed to take stock of future challenges and discuss strategies and concrete solutions underlying green post-war recovery, reports European Commission.
"The EU supports Ukraine in building a bright future on the foundation of environmental sustainability – not only with funding, but also with technical and legislative support. And we are preparing in advance so that when the time comes, the complexity of the task does not prevent sustainable development from becoming the basis of recovery," the message reads.
It is noted that in addition to supporting Ukraine's European perspective, sustainable recovery and reconstruction are important to guarantee the country's prosperity. And also its resource autonomy and the quality of life of Ukrainians when the war ends.
The press service emphasized that the conference is designed to offer all key stakeholders a holistic approach to the green recovery and reconstruction of Ukraine. This will help to analyze specific challenges and solutions to ensure that environmental sustainability is central to future investments and reforms.
The conference will consist of 2 segments:
Politics segment
