Rebuilding a country is not only about restoring infrastructures, It is also an opportunity to rethink how territories adapt, evolve and become more resilient to future challenges. In Ukraine, climate change is already reshaping environmental, economic and social systems, making climate adaptation a key pillar of sustainable recovery.
Through the EU-supported APENA3 project, Egis has worked alongside Ukrainian and international partners to develop practical approaches to climate adaptation at regional level. This work brings together scientific expertise, field experience and alignment with EU environmental standards to help regions better understand and anticipate climate risks; adressing one central question: how can regions build resilience while planning for sustainable growth?
Our latest white paper, led by Svitlana Krakovska, explores how climate adaptation can move from analysis to action. It introduces a structured methodology to assess risks and vulnerabilities across sectors, and demonstrates how these insights can be translated into concrete strategies and investment plans. Tested in three pilot regions: Lviv, Mykolaiv and Ivano-Frankivsk. This approach offers a scalable framework for resilient and sustainable development.
More than a technical document, the white paper tells the story of a collective effort carried out over several years, including in particularly challenging conditions. It highlights how climate adaptation can become a driver for better planning, smarter investments and more resilient infrastructure systems.
