Empowering Ukraine’s resilience: Sustainable Finance Platform launched with EU support

On 8 December, Ukraine officially launched its Sustainable Finance Platform (SFP), a new national mechanism to coordinate sustainable finance policy and EU-aligned standards. 

Bringing together government, regulator, banks, business and international partners, the Platform will drive the country’s green transition and strengthen its economic resilience.

The Sustainable Finance Platform is hosted by the Secretariat of the Cabinet of Ministers under the umbrella of the Office of the President of Ukraine with the support of the GIZ Sustainable Finance Unit and the Ukrainian Climate Office/C4CA Project. The Ukrainian Climate Office (UCO) will provide assistance to SFP, focusing on technical activities, including in-depth analysis of planned reforms, international best practices, and the review and alignment of existing strategic documents related to sustainable finance. The C4CA project is implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ GmbH) and co-financed by the European Union.

“We clearly understand that Ukraine’s future EU membership is impossible without full integration into the European economic space, which is built on the principles of the European Green Deal,” said Oleh Voytovych, Deputy State Secretary of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine. “Therefore, it is necessary to develop in Ukraine a sustainable finance system that meets EU requirements.”

By early 2026, quarterly coordination meetings will begin to monitor progress, align terminology across ministries and ensure that the sub‑groups deliver concrete outputs on schedule. Regular stakeholder‑engagement seminars, scheduled every six months, will keep the wider business community, civil‑society organisations and international partners informed and involved. As a result of its work, a State of Sustainable Finance in Ukraine Annual Report will be published each year.
