RE-GREEN Project

Advancing European Green Deal Implementation in Ukraine

Funded by European Union Erasmus+ Programme Grant: ERASMUS-JMO-2024-MODULE

Project Overview:   Implementation Strategy Expected Impact

The European Green Deal (EGD) serves as an ambitious roadmap to transform Europe into the first climate-neutral continent by 2050. With targeted strategies spanning energy, transportation, agriculture, industry, and infrastructure, the EGD seeks to enhance resource efficiency, restore biodiversity, reduce pollution, and bolster resilience to climate challenges, all while fostering a sustainable, healthy future for Europe.

While Ukraine embraced the vision of the European Green Deal (EGD) shortly after its inception—setting plans to align with its climate neutrality goals by 2050 and establishing interagency working groups to integrate these ambitions into the broader European framework—the full-scale Russian invasion in 2022 posed unprecedented challenges. The conflict has inflicted immense hardship on communities and caused environmental damage exceeding €55 billion, with losses escalating by approximately €100 million daily. The widespread destruction of ecosystems, contamination of natural resources, and significant biodiversity loss present severe risks, threatening to leave a lasting and profound impact on Ukraine’s environmental heritage.

Despite these challenges, environmental policy remains central to Ukraine’s EU journey. As Ukraine works towards EU accession, addressing key Green Deal objectives—such as emissions reductions, renewable energy expansion, and biodiversity recovery—positions Ukraine to advance its ecological goals while contributing to Europe’s collective sustainability and security. 

RE-GREEN project plays a pivotal role in this context, aiming to enhance understanding of the European Green Deal and its practical application among Ukrainian students of law and international relations, legal practitioners, business representatives, state authorities, and local governments. By equipping key stakeholders with the knowledge and tools to implement EGD principles, RE-GREEN contributes to building a strong foundation for Ukraine’s sustainable recovery and its integration into the broader European climate agenda.
