The year 2023 was marked by the continuation of reforms aimed at implementing the principles of the European Green Deal (EGD) in Ukraine – despite the extremely difficult circumstances of the Russian full-scale invasion, which had an impact on all areas of the EGD in Ukraine. At the same time, some negative trends have become noticeable, creating an obstacle to the effective implementation of the EGD in Ukraine and ensuring conditions for green recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In particular, the insufficient level of transparency in the energy sector regarding information on market functioning, recovery dynamics, and the process of developing decisions and national strategic documents remains a significant obstacle to the effectiveness of reforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Recognizing the objective obstacles to providing access to information and involvement in decision-making under martial law, we call for increased access to information and inclusiveness of decision-making with the participation of stakeholders from the public and expert circles. Such an increase in transparency in key areas of the EGD is necessary to ensure high quality decisions, enable effective support for reforms, and set priorities for green recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
