Register for the regional workshop ‘Advancing nature-positive investments: Progress and challenges ahead in the EU’s Eastern Neighbourhood’

A regional workshop on ‘Advancing nature-positive investments: Progress and challenges ahead in the EU’s Eastern Neighbourhood’ will take place in a hybrid format on 9 June 2026 (09:00 – 16:00, CEST). The event is organised within the EU Green Week.

The workshop aims to present evidence based on ecosystem service values, national targets, and financing needs in the EU’s Eastern partner countries, with a particular focus on forests and other priority ecosystems relevant to nature-positive investment.

It will present findings from four country studies covering Armenia, Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine, discuss financing instruments that can help bridge funding gaps, exchange national priorities and enabling conditions for investment, and share international experience relevant to Eastern Partnership countries.

The workshop aims to bring together government officials from ministries of environment, representatives of EU institutions, international organisations, academia, and civil society organisations. Participants are requested to register via this link.

The meeting will be conducted in English with simultaneous interpretation in Armenian, Romanian, and Ukrainian.

This workshop is organised under the EU4Environment Programme. The initiative supports EaP countries in advancing strategic financing for forests and natural resource management (NRM) by assessing the value of forest and other ecosystem services and identifying related financing needs.
