The visualization and program of the Ukraine pavilion reveal key positions

The three main areas of discussion in the Ukrainian pavilion are:

A country of innovations/digitalisation. Sustainable non-standard solutions/resilient communities: Ukraine is a country of technological innovation and sustainable solutions. The Ukrainian pavilion will highlight innovative initiatives that use modern technologies for sustainable development and community resilience.
Ukraine’s Peace Formula. The impact of war on the environment: In the context of Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine, the environmental challenges facing Ukraine are unprecedented. As part of President Zelenskiy’s ‘peace formula’, the importance of integrating environmental security into peace processes is crucial. We will also focus on Ukraine’s obligations to mitigate the environmental consequences of war. Our discussions will cover strategic approaches to environmental assessment, ensuring accountability for environmental damage, and outlining comprehensive strategies for sustainable and green recovery.
Green recovery. Ukraine’s climate policy and actions: Our commitment to green recovery is unwavering. At COP29, we will further discuss the strategic measures Ukraine is implementing to ensure that its plans to meet global climate goals are proactive, not just reactive.

The pavilion will host daily events dedicated to sustainable development and green reconstruction of Ukraine in the following areas
