You're reading: Green Deal: Ukraine needs to catch up on green energy

The Green Deal is the large-scale European program that aims to turn Europe into the world’s first carbon-neutral continent, a goal now stated by China as well. A consensus is building that the world’s climate cannot take another century of dirty, fossil-fuel-based energy. Renewable electricity such as solar and wind could provide up to 50% percent of the planet’s needs by 2050 with the right steps today. Ukraine, which generates just 8% of its energy from renewable sources, must change rapidly.

How can Ukraine seize the opportunities of the inevitable green wave?

We have invited international and Ukrainian speakers to discuss these questions. Join us on October 20 at 6:30 p.m. Kyiv time (GMT+3) to watch the livestream.
