Tamara Malkova, Information Center “Green Dossier”:
Why is it important?
On November 8, 2023, the European Commission adopted the Enlargement Package for 2023, in which it assessed the current status and progress made by the Western Balkans, Turkey, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine. A separate report on Ukraine examines the status and progress made by the country on its way to EU membership, focusing on the implementation of fundamental and sectoral reforms. Among other things, the report contains recommendations in the field of environment and climate change that Ukraine should implement.
An independent analysis of Ukraine’s progress in implementing the recommendations in the field of environment and climate change is an important component of ensuring transparency, accountability and efficiency of Ukraine’s EU approximation process in the relevant areas.
Results of the initiative:
- The analytical document will be publicly presented and made available on the website of the platform and participating organizations.
- Discussions will be held on social media, during a public event, and on a platform created by the Verkhovna Rada’s Environmental Committee. Representatives of the EU institutions will also be invited to participate in the discussion.
- Thanks to cooperation with the Committee, the conclusions of the analytical document will be communicated to the relevant ministry and sectoral ministries.
- As a result of the advocacy campaign, it is expected that all stakeholders will receive information on the challenges and necessary further steps for Ukraine’s implementation of the European Commission’s recommendations, and the EU institutions will receive an independent view of the progress made in the field of environment and climate change.
- The document will be proposed for discussion to the organizations that are members of the Forum’s WG3 and presented at the next CSF Summit.
We invite you to cooperation!
