Accelerating NDC and promoting Sustainable Bioenergy, Agri and Land-Use Practices in Ukraine

For a tran­si­tion to a low-car­bon econ­o­my in Ukraine, a faster imple­men­ta­tion of the NDC is nec­es­sary. The Project aims to accel­er­ate Ukraine’s NDC imple­men­ta­tion while pro­mot­ing the uptake of invest­ments in sus­tain­able bioen­er­gy, agri and land-use prac­tices.

Conservation of highly valuable primeval and old-growth forests in selected national parks in the Ukrainian Carpathians

The Ukrain­ian Carpathi­ans are strong­holds for primeval and old-growth forests in Europe, but face pres­sure from large scale log­ging. Pro­tect­ed areas (PAs) in these forests now also face an acute exis­ten­tial threat as gov­ern­ment fund­ing has all but ceased as a result of the eco­nom­ic pres­sures stem­ming from the Russ­ian inva­sion.

Energy-Efficient District in Lviv

Old com­bined heat and pow­er sta­tions, obso­lete dis­trict heat­ing net­works and inad­e­quate­ly insu­lat­ed build­ings with inef­fi­cient heat­ing lead to high ener­gy con­sump­tion in many Ukrain­ian towns and cities – and con­se­quent­ly to high emis­sions and costs.

Join us for an insight­ful webi­nar as we unveil com­pelling study find­ings on civ­il soci­ety involve­ment dur­ing times of war. Engage in a dynam­ic pre­sen­ta­tion of the study’s dis­cov­er­ies, fol­lowed by a col­lab­o­ra­tive brain­storm­ing ses­sion to explore inno­v­a­tive ways to enhance the role of civ­il soci­ety orga­ni­za­tions (CSOs).

5th Call for IKI Small Grants Proposals

IKI Small Grants: 5th Call open until 13 March 2024

The Frank­furt Zoo­log­i­cal Soci­ety sup­ports envi­ron­men­tal edu­ca­tion pro­grams in 12 Pro­tect­ed Areas in the Ukrain­ian Carpathi­ans. The FZS envi­ron­men­tal edu­ca­tion team recent­ly com­plet­ed a study tour of par­tic­u­lar Ger­man pro­tect­ed areas which excel in envi­ron­men­tal edu­ca­tion and trans­ferred their learn­ings to the employ­ees of Carpathi­an pro­tect­ed areas through two-day sem­i­nars held on-site in the Carpathi­ans.
