Our vision: a just, green, democratic Ukraine

Our mission is to fight for a just, greener economy in Ukraine and youth inclusion in climate policy.

Our goal is to build a community of Ukrainian young women who are educated on issues of climate and sustainable development, as well as ensure youth participation in green recovery processes.

Right now, climate policy in Ukraine is developing rapidly due to the urgent need to recover and build the resilience of Ukrainian communities to the impacts of war. The developments we are seeing are also driven by the reforms being implemented by the Ukrainian government to speed up the process of Ukraine’s integration into the European Union.

We need to ensure that young people are included, as Ukrainian youth are a hugely important force in driving societal transformation towards a more democratic Ukraine. We aim to create opportunities for young people to engage in policy dialogue around climate action through our women-led community. This includes various events organised to learn from experts and implement their own projects around advocacy for Green Deal implementation through dialogue with local governance, to ensure co-design with local communities.
