Renewable Energy Agency<\/a>, a member of UABIO, launches a new project \u201cPromoting Ukraine\u2019s transition to green energy\u201d conducted with the support of the\u00a0European Union<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0International Renaissance Foundation<\/a>\u00a0within the framework of the\u00a0EU4USociety project<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Relevance of the project<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Ukraine does not stay away from the global challenges of humanity, in particular the problems of climate change and adaptation to these changes. The country is a party to the Paris Climate Agreement and has already expressed its intention to implement the principles of the European Green Deal, in particular, the concept of \u201cgreen\u201d energy transition of Ukraine until 2050 was presented. Energy production is the main source of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions in the world, and therefore to the introduction of renewable energy sources (RES), energy efficiency and energy conservation should be given a key role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently, there has been a threatening trend in Ukraine to break the link between \u201cgreen\u201d renewable energy, environmental protection and sustainable development. Incentives that have been introduced to support the development of RES (in particular, \u201cgreen\u201d tariffs), unfortunately, have gained a negative image in society \u2013 \u201cas a way to enrich oligarchic groups\u201d and were revised in 2020 to reduce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combating climate change, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and implementing RES must have a public demand that will make it impossible for Ukraine to abandon the green course, and therefore the main task of the project should be to prepare the ground for such a demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The green energy transition is, above all, an incentive for modernization, economic development and investment, and the undeniable benefits of its implementation should be known to a wide range of stakeholders.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is why the project aims to reproduce the positive image of RES in Ukraine.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Activities within the project
<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

To create a public demand for Ukraine\u2019s green energy transition, the project will run an extensive outreach and advocacy campaign to raise awareness of national and local authorities, relevant stakeholders and the general public about the need and benefits of Ukraine\u2019s transition to green energy in the light of European green course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An important component of such activities is to draw the attention of the target audience to the fact that the transition to green energy in Ukraine can significantly contribute to the recovery of the national economy affected by COVID-19, as well as focus on opportunities for energy independence by communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The components of informational, educational, and advocacy activities will be:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
