"Building Climate Resilience in Ukraine: Cross-Border Environmental Action and Climate Risk-Informed Adaptation" at Cafe Kyiv

We invite you to a panel discussion “Building Climate Resilience in Ukraine: Cross-Border Environmental Action and Climate Risk-Informed Adaptation”, bringing together experts working on climate policy, environmental cooperation, and climate-informed responses to risk in the context of war and recovery.

We’ll share insights from our long-term work on environmental protection and sustainability in Ukraine – including more than seven years of commitment to East Ukraine, where we’ve continued our efforts despite Russia’s aggression since 2014 and the devastating intensification of the full-scale war since 2022. The discussion will focus on how cross-border environmental action, international partnerships, and data-driven climate adaptation can support Ukraine in addressing escalating climate risks – both now and in the long term.
