Webinar on Application of Do No Significant Harm principle in the Context of Ukraine

The Ukrainian Climate Office (C4CA), WWF Ukraine and WWF Central and Eastern Europe are inviting representatives of governmental, non-governmental and international organizations engaged in a sustainable recovery of Ukraine to a webinar on the topic “Application of Do No Significant Harm principle in the Context of Ukraine”. The event will take place online on July 16, 2024 9:00 to 12:00 CET (10:00 to 13:00 Kyiv time).

The ‘Do No Significant Harm’ (DNSH) principle ensures that policies and programs do not have a negative impact on people, climate, and environment. This webinar aims to introduce how DNSH can support Ukraine´s recovery and EU accession. We will discuss the advantages and challenges of applying DNSH in the current Ukrainian context and the development of a guidance framework for its implementation.

The Ukraine Facility and the Ukraine Plan suggest applying DNSH to recovery measures and the principle will be applied “to the extent possible in a war-torn country”. While the EU has a Technical Guidance on DNSH, Ukraine lacks such specific guidelines especially considering its war-torn status and EU accession process.

Only upon invitation. Results from this event will be shared afterwards.

The event is jointly organized by WWF Ukraine and WWF Central and Eastern Europe, and the Ukrainian Climate Office within Capacities for Climate Action project (C4CA) Project implemented by GIZ and commissioned by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) under the International Climate Initiative (IKI) and co-funded by the EU.
