In Gyumri, rooftop solar is helping power the restaurant’s kitchen, cutting energy costs and its carbon footprint. With COP17 also taking place in Armenia, KumKuma offers a practical example of how local businesses can put sustainability into action. @EU_enlargement @EU_Armenia

The G7 countries have announced their intention to allocate €260 million for the repairs of the New Safe Confinement at the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant. This is a significant step in restoring nuclear safety at the #Chornobyl NPP, which was compromised as a result of a russian attack. The total funding required for the restoration of the confinement is estimated at at least €500 million. I expressed my gratitude to France, and Minister @RolandLescure personally, for their leadership in mobilizing international support. I am grateful to the G7 nations for their willingness to contribute to this restoration effort. We expect to secure the necessary funding to cover the rest of the expenses during a donor conference to be held in Paris, co-chaired by Ukraine, France, and the @EBRD. _____ Країни G7 оголосили про намір виділити 260 млн євро на відновлення Нового безпечного конфайнмента Чорнобильської АЕС. Це важливий крок для відновлення ядерної безпеки на ЧАЕС, що була порушена внаслідок російського удару. Загальна потреба у відновленні конфайнмента оцінюється щонайменше у 500 млн євро. Дякую Франції та особисто міністру Ролану Лескюру за лідерство в мобілізації міжнародної підтримки. Вдячний країнам G7 за готовність долучитися до відновлення. Розраховуємо залучити необхідне фінансування для покриття решти потреб під час донорської конференції, яка відбудеться в Парижі під спільним головуванням України, Франції та ЄБРР.

Greener economies. More opportunities. Stronger communities. @UNDP and @EBRD are renewing our partnership for another five years. Together, we will expand clean energy, advance digital transformation, support inclusive growth and build greater resilience. The renewed agreement will also explore ways to strengthen cooperation on crisis recovery and reconstruction, including in Ukraine. I look forward to moving from ambition to action with President @OdileRenaud.
