SUN4Ukraine’s Post

📣 This week, we are proud to present a new Flagship Municipality: Vinnytsya! 📍 Located in West-Central Ukraine, on the banks of the Southern Bug river, Vinnitsya is composed of 1 city and 8 villages, counting 402,830 inhabitants. 🎙️ Vladyslav Skalskyi, Deputy Mayor of Vinnytsia, shares with us his pride at having been selected, as well as the initial steps that have already been made as part of the Green Deal. “I am pleased that Vinnytsia has become a part of SUN4Ukraine, which is aimed at supporting Ukrainian cities in achieving climate neutrality. Shortly before the start of the full-scale invasion, our community became the first in Ukraine to proclaim the Green Deal, and despite the challenges of war, we continue to work in this area, as we are convinced that Ukraine's further recovery should be in alignment with the principles of this document. Working within this strategic path, we have covered various areas of our municipal life: urban mobility, energy efficiency and transition to renewable energy, creation of green jobs and development of a circular economy, education of residents and cooperation with international partners in terms of climate change adaptation and reduction of human impact on the environment. We will also be happy to share our experience and receive guidance from new partners on how to build a better sustainable quality of life". 💡 Through SUN4Ukraine, Vinnitsya is setting the stage for climate neutrality by 2050, leveraging international partnerships and innovative climate action strategies to ensure a greener, resilient, and thriving future. Join us as we highlight each of the 12 Flagship Municipalities and their aspirations toward achieving climate neutrality.🏙️🌱 #Ukraine4Climate #EUMissions #MissionCities #HorizonEU CINEA - European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency EU Science, Research and Innovation  U_CAN Project
