The Sustainable Urban Net Zero Network for Ukraine (SUN4Ukraine) is a four-year initiative aimed at guiding Ukrainian cities towards climate neutrality. Ukrainian cities are paired with those participating in the EU 100 Climate Neutral and Smart Cities Mission, fostering learning and knowledge exchange to accelerate their climate transition.
Through a tailored capacity-building programme and comprehensive technical support, this project empowers Ukrainian cities to seamlessly integrate Climate Neutrality Plans into their recovery strategies, paving the way for sustainable and resilient urban development.
OUR MISSION
SUN4Ukraine is funded under the EU Mission 100 Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities by 2030. The initiative contributes to the goal of making Europe the first climate-neutral continent by 2050.
SUN4Ukraine’s mission is to:
Provide technical support and expertise to Ukrainian cities through a capacity building programme.
Foster collaboration and learning with Mission Cities to share best practices and innovative solutions for a successful climate transition.
Promote sustainable urban planning, citizen and stakeholder engagement, and effective governance models to reach climate neutrality by 2050.
WHAT IS OUR PLAN ?
SUN4Ukraine will select ten Ukrainian Flagship Municipalities committed to climate-neutral urban planning and reconstruction.
Our approach to capacity building is structured around 3 tracks:
Foundation: Building a strong basis for climate neutrality through workshops and training sessions.
Partnership: Pairing Ukrainian cities with Mission Cities for hands-on mentorship and knowledge exchange.
Replication: Scaling successful strategies and practices across other Ukrainian cities.
