On behalf of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research, German scientists are to support Ukraine in making its climate and energy policy fit for accession to the EU. To this end, the four-year project „Green Deal Ukraina“ started on Thursday under the leadership of the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB). „Germany will use its expertise to help Ukraine rebuild its energy sector, which was badly hit by the war, and make it sustainable in the process,“ Federal Research Minister Bettina Stark-Watzinger (FDP) told Table.Media. „This is a prerequisite for EU accession negotiations. The „Green Deal Ukraina“ is thus an important contribution to supporting the country in several respects,“ the minister continued.
