Grand Opening of the Ukraine Pavilion

- Day theme: Adaptation, Cities, Infrastructure, Water, Waste, Local Governments, Bioeconomy, Circular Economy, and Tourism

Today, we open the Ukrainian Pavilion at COP30 — the United Nations Climate Change Conference. Here in Brazil, Ukraine presents itself not only as a country resisting armed aggression, but as a state that is firmly advancing on the path of sustainable development, green recovery, and international cooperation.
Our pavilion is more than an exhibition space. It is the voice of a wounded yet unbroken nation. It is a space for dialogue about the future — where war does not defeat nature, and destruction becomes the starting point for building a cleaner and fairer tomorrow.
