The project seeks to strengthen environmental protection in Ukraine through supporting environmental activism and anti-corruption efforts. Together, we will build the capacity of environmental activists and their allies – including lawyers, scientists, journalists, and anti-corruption activists – to solve entrenched environmental problems in Ukraine.
The project is implemented with the financial support of the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor.
Project Objectives
Grassroots activists in Ukraine better protect the environment, defend environmental rights, and enforce environmental law.
Ukrainian journalists inform communities about pressing environmental issues, links to corruption in the environmental sector, and how citizens can make their voices heard.
Authorities in Ukraine perform their duties as stipulated by environmental laws and advance environmental democracy.
Ukraine policies aimed at protecting the environment are reformed, regulatory bottlenecks are reduced, and corruption tied to environmental protection is minimized.
