Climate policy development and advancing cooperation with the EU in Moldova
The EU-Moldova Association Agreement, including a Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area (AA/DCFTA), fully entered into force on 1 July 2016 after being applied provisionally since September 2014. The Agreement significantly strengthens political association and economic integration between Moldova and the EU. With extensive support from the EU, Moldova is making gradual progress on the approximation of the EU environmental and energy legislation to ensure energy security and diversify supply sources, including through renewable energy. The EU has supported climate change related actions in the transport sector as well, amongst others, by improving public transport in the big cities, restructuring and modernising the Moldovan rail sector, and rehabilitating country roads. Moldova is moving forward on its low-carbon and climate resilient development pathway, with strong support from the EU and international financing institutions.
