Project News

On April 14 and May 5, the Min­istry of Envi­ron­men­tal Pro­tec­tion and Nat­ur­al Resources of Ukraine con­duct­ed mock ses­sions on Chap­ter 27: “Envi­ron­ment and Cli­mate Change.” The Ukrain­ian Cli­mate Office and the project “Sup­port for the Estab­lish­ment of an Emis­sions Trad­ing Scheme in Ukraine,” in coop­er­a­tion with part­ners, sup­port­ed the Min­istry in orga­niz­ing and car­ry­ing out these train­ing ses­sions.

Ukraine is prepar­ing for one of the most com­plex parts of its EU jour­ney, as each can­di­date coun­try must align its laws with the EU’s before join­ing. A cru­cial part of the acces­sion process are bilat­er­al screen­ings. Dur­ing these meet­ings, the can­di­date coun­try must present its cur­rent state of leg­isla­tive align­ment with EU acquis and pro­vide clear imple­men­ta­tion plans with con­crete time­lines.

To get ready for this task, Ukrain­ian experts are cur­rent­ly under­go­ing through mock ses­sions. These ses­sions sim­u­late real-life bilat­er­al screen­ing meet­ings between Ukraine and Euro­pean Com­mis­sion to help Ukrain­ian speak­ers refine their pre­sen­ta­tions, under­stand how best to con­vey key infor­ma­tion, and strength­en their over­all readi­ness for actu­al nego­ti­a­tions.

C4CA/Ukrainian Cli­mate Office togeth­er with the IKI project “Sup­port for the Estab­lish­ment of an Emis­sions trad­ing scheme in Ukraine” in coop­er­a­tion with the imple­ment­ing part­ners from Aus­tria, Swe­den and Lithua­nia and a num­ber of oth­er inter­na­tion­al experts as well as with the sup­port of the Resource and Analy­sis Cen­ter “Soci­ety and Envi­ron­ment” sup­port­ed the Min­istry of Envi­ron­men­tal Pro­tec­tion and Nat­ur­al Resources of Ukraine in orga­niz­ing and con­duct­ing a series of two mock ses­sions on Chap­ter 27: Envi­ron­ment and Cli­mate Change  on 14 April and on 5 May. The bilat­er­al screen­ings for Ukraine will take place in June 2025. After the screen­ing, the Euro­pean Com­mis­sion will pre­pare a report, that forms the basis for decid­ing whether nego­ti­a­tions can start on the rel­e­vant Clus­ter of Chap­ters.
