Home News Calls Call for Ukrainian municipalities to become associated to the EU Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities Mission by participating in SUN4Ukraine

Horizon Europe Office in Ukraine announces a call for Ukrainian municipalities to join the SUN4Ukraine project, which supports Ukrainian cities in aligning their recovery plans with ambitious climate neutrality goals. As part of the EU Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities Mission, SUN4Ukraine offers a unique opportunity for municipalities to become leaders in sustainable urban development, contributing to Ukraine’s broader commitment to climate action.

SUN4Ukraine offers two distinct pathways for involvement:

  • Flagship Municipalities: Ukrainian cities are invited to express interest in becoming one of the 10 Flagship Municipalities selected by SUN4Ukraine for the initial phase of the project. These municipalities will receive tailored expert support, participate in a comprehensive capacity-building programme, and be paired with EU Mission Cities for valuable knowledge exchanges. As pioneers, these Flagship Municipalities will work towards achieving climate neutrality by 2050 at the latest and will set an example for other Ukrainian cities to follow.
  • Capacity building and knowledge sharing: Other municipalities are welcome to join SUN4Ukraine at a later stage when they can gain access to capacity-building resources, peer-to-peer exchanges with other Ukrainian and European cities, and tailored support to help them achieve their climate goals.

Whether your city aims to be a flagship leader or to join the climate neutrality journey later, your participation is crucial in shaping a sustainable future for Ukraine. Express your interest in joining SUN4Ukraine by following these steps:

Selected cities will be announced by the end of November 2024.
