Facilitating Ukraine’s Participation in the COP28

As a forth­com­ing inde­pen­dent Cen­ter of Excel­lence focused on cli­mate issues, the Ukrain­ian Cli­mate Office (UCO) active­ly backs Ukraine’s cli­mate pol­i­cy ini­tia­tives in both nation­al and inter­na­tion­al are­nas.

UCO facil­i­tates the Ukrain­ian pavil­ion, host­ing side events cov­er­ing top­ics such as just tran­si­tion, decen­tral­ized ener­gy sup­ply, and the cli­mate impacts of the ongo­ing war. Com­ple­ment­ing the pavil­ion, a ded­i­cat­ed web­site was devel­oped, serv­ing as the pri­ma­ry infor­ma­tion hub for the Ukrain­ian pavil­ion and over­all par­tic­i­pa­tion in COP28.

In addi­tion to these efforts, the UCO con­ducts train­ing ses­sions for the Ukrain­ian del­e­ga­tion, focus­ing on key objec­tives of COP28, includ­ing cli­mate finance, mit­i­ga­tion, and adap­ta­tion, and imple­ment­ed through HEAT GmbH. This com­pre­hen­sive sup­port aimed to ampli­fy the Ukrain­ian pres­ence and con­tri­bu­tions at COP28.
