Green Agenda for Armenia, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine

Armenia, Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine pursue innovative growth strategies to address climate change, build resilient and sustainable economies, and promote better health and wellbeing. 

Active project

2023

Our project supports Armenia, Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine in their journey towards climate neutrality through green transition. Together with participating countries, it aims to create green transition roadmaps in each country paving a way to planning and mobilizing investments for building modern, sustainable economies and improving citizen’s health, well-being and security.  

The project’s thematic focus revolves around a holistic approach to achieve climate neutrality, closely aligned with the principles of the European Green Deal. It aims to tackle key focus areas and crosscutting aspects, such as finance, digitalization, and social impacts. These include climate action, clean energy, circular economy, efficient renovations, sustainable food, sustainable mobility, preserving biodiversity and zero pollution.

National pledges towards a green future

Armenia, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine are determined to address climate change through adopting sustainable practices. To achieve this objective, we aim to enhance their policy compatibility with the EU framework – commonly known as the European Green Deal, thereby facilitating the process of potential EU membership or integration. Our initiative will also help the countries to fulfil their commitments under the Paris agreement. 

Major activities

Our project commences by conducting comprehensive national green transition assessments, followed by the development of tailored green transition roadmaps for each country. Additionally, we will actively engage in raising awareness on the advantages and pressing need for a green transition; and foster knowledge-sharing and collaboration among the participating countries, regional organizations, donors, and other stakeholders.

Press releases

The Green Agenda project is led by SEI and implemented together with national governments and strategic partners. The project is funded by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida).
