Why it matters
The parties discussed expanding municipal energy resilience through grant and concessional financing, as well as attracting private investment into independent generation and energy infrastructure. Since the full-scale invasion, UNDP has mobilized approximately USD 718 million in international aid to support Ukraine's energy restoration.
Nordic and Baltic countries recently hosted the first Nordic-Baltic energy ministers' meeting to discuss supporting Ukraine's energy supply and long-term recovery.
