The "Greening Economies in the European Union's Eastern Neighbourhood" (EaP GREEN) project assists six countries of the European Union Eastern Neighbourhood Partnership including Ukraine in progressing faster towards a green economy framework. Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) and Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) have been promoted within the EaP GREEN as tools to integrate green economy targets and other sustainability issues into strategic and project-related decision-making to ensure that environmental and health implications of decisions are taken into account before they are made.
Since 2013, the UNECE within the EaP GREEN framework has been supporting Ukraine in developing the national SEA and EIA system. The objective of the final event is to:
- To present the outcomes and results regarding SEA and EIA achieved within the EaP GREEN;
- To summarize the key principles of efficient SEA and EIA practice and is benefits;
- To discuss priorities and needs regarding further development of SEA and EIA system in the country.
The event is organized by the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of Ukraine in cooperation with the UNECE within the framework of the EaP GREEN. The logistical support is provided by the Law-Making and Information Technologies Institute NGO (Ukraine).
The workshop will invite representatives of all relevant stakeholders - environmental and health authorities, planning agencies and institutes, local authorities, experts and practitioners, as well as representatives of NGOs.
