Why: Knowledge of EU policies and tools in relationship to climate change mitigation is important for Ukraine to modernise socio-economic model and to withstand low-carbon economy challenges.

Our purpose: to develop knowledge base and human resource needed to harmonise socio-economic agenda in Ukraine with the EU climate change mitigation policies

What we are going to do:
