Climate policy development and advancing cooperation with the EU in Belarus
Belarus has been participating actively in the multilateral formats of the Eastern Partnership. The bilateral relationship will be strengthened through the EU-Belarus Partnership Priorities, which are currently being negotiated, and which will set the strategic framework for cooperation in the coming years. Through the EBRD-managed Eastern Europe Energy Efficiency and Environment Partnership, Belarus has access to €10 million for key projects in energy efficiency and environmental protection. EU support has helped to improve energy efficiency in a number of educational facilities and residential buildings. In the transport sector, roads and railways improvements will bring better connectivity and safety, and through the use of intelligent transport systems, some decarbonisation will be achieved. Bilateral dialogue on environment and climate action takes place on an annual basis. Belarus is moving forward on its sustainable energy pathway, with strong support from the EU and international financing institutions.
