100 Years of Partnership: Building Climate-resilient Economies Together
- Day theme: Adaptation, Cities, Infrastructure, Water, Waste, Local Governments, Bioeconomy, Circular Economy, and Tourism
- Panel Discussion
- UN Global Compact Ukraine
In 2025, the UK and Ukraine mark 100 years of diplomatic relations — a century of partnership rooted in trust, innovation, and shared values of democracy and progress. As the world faces an era of climate transformation, this partnership is evolving into a new phase where business becomes a key agent of change.
The panel brings together leaders from technology, finance, renewable energy, and agri-food sectors to discuss practical pathways for joint climate action and investment.
How can digital tools enable faster energy transition and transparency across supply chains? What new business models emerge when recovery meets sustainability? And how can UK–Ukraine cooperation demonstrate that rebuilding an economy can also mean building it green from the start?”
