The project supports the dialogue on the reconstruction of Ukraine with technical expertise by providing energy and climate economic policy advice on the formulation and impact assessment of policy measures and the preparation of strategic documents. In addition, the neighbouring Republic of Moldova is also supported in its efforts to reform its energy and climate policy, improve its energy security and mitigate the effects of the Russian war in Ukraine. The project therefore takes into consideration the interactions between policy decisions in Ukraine and its neighbour Moldova. Furthermore, individual topics are defined on a demand-driven basis in cooperation with the beneficiaries of advisory services and are aimed at shaping the reconstruction process and accompanying policy reforms, particularly in the context of the EU accession process of both countries.
The Origins of the Low Carbon Ukraine Project
In September 2023, Low Carbon Ukraine (LCU)-Project team leader Robert Kirchner participated in an expert interview with the 100GREEN YouTube channel where he discussed the origins of the LCU project and its role in Ukraine’s energy transformation, the importance of European climate legislation for Ukrainian businesses, as well as Ukraine’s future development.
