Today, Ukraine is taking all necessary measures to establish international cooperation in the sectors of energy efficiency and renewable energy development as part of its commitments under its membership in the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe, the Energy Community, and its accession to the Energy Charter treaty. Concerning tendencies of the world economy globalization, Ukraine directs its activity first of all to its gradual integration into European and transatlantic structures with the purpose of entering the European economic space.

At the same time, the Agency, with the help of international financial organizations and international donors, arranges the development of the following financial mechanisms for attracting “green investments” and creating a favorable investment climate in the country. Particularly, under implementation of provisions of the Memorandum on understanding in the fields of energy efficiency, renewable energy and alternate types of fuel between the State Agency on Energy Efficiency and Energy Saving of Ukraine and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Finland, the Finnish party supported the initiative of creating the Trust Fund in Ukraine, which is being implemented through the Nordic Environment Finance Corporation (NEFCO). The main coordinator of this fund in Ukraine is the State Agency on Energy Efficiency and Energy Saving of Ukraine. More information on the creation of the Fund can be found at the link.

The Agency promotes active representation of Ukraine on the international scene as a whole. Particularly, representatives of the State Agency on Energy Efficiency and Energy Saving of Ukraine take part in sessions of the numerous intergovernmental committees that are held both in Ukraine and abroad.
