EU Green Week 2023 marked in the Republic of Moldova under the theme delivering a net-zero world

The EU Green Week was marked in the Republic of Moldova during 3-11 June 2023, via a large-scale information and awareness campaign, creative contests for children and outdoor events promoting green lifestyles. 

With the general theme “Delivering a net-zero world”, the edition of EU Green Week 2023 offered an opportunity to learn the most recent information about the EU environmental policies in the field of biodiversity, circular economy, zero pollution, etc. In 2023, the EU Green Week was dedicated to the competences for sustainable, resilient and inclusive communities. 

The main objectives of EU Green Week 2023 were to:

  • Highlight the EU Assistance to the Republic of Moldova in the area of sustainable energy, including renewable energy and energy efficiency, climate, environment, etc.
  • Raise awareness about the results achieved so far through the EU assistance to the Republic of Moldova on sustainable energy, climate, environment;
  • Raise awareness about the REPowerEU plan – a plan to rapidly reduce dependence on Russian fossil fuels and fast forward the green transition and its impact on the Republic of Moldova energy security measures.

Overall, the EU Green Week is an annual opportunity to debate, become familiar with, and celebrate EU environment policy. It is also an opportunity to celebrate the progress made, and to encourage individuals, communities and organisations to take stronger action in future – to protect, preserve and restore the environment, for now and for future generations, while constantly promoting sustainable development.
