About SUN4Ukraine and the role of Ro3kvitSUN4Ukraine is a multi-partner initiative supporting Ukrainian municipalities in developing Climate Neutrality Plans (CNPs), following the NetZeroCities approach and contributing to long-term, climate-neutral recovery. Ro3kvit is co-leading Work Package 3 (Capacity Building), with a role that spans both the design and implementation of the Capacity Building Programme, as well as contribution to other work packages. The programme is designed to support municipalities throughout the CNP development process, ensuring that learning is directly connected to practice. A key objective is to link all training activities to the logic of the Climate Neutrality Plan as an integrated framework — combining action planning, portfolio development, stakeholder engagement, financing, and governance into a coherent process.
The project is built on a strong international partnership and offers an opportunity to engage deeply with the topic of climate neutrality, while learning from organisations with extensive experience in NetZeroCities and direct work with Mission Cities. It provides exposure to diverse approaches, practical tools, and real-life implementation processes across different European contexts.
